Hi everyone
After a couple of years not being able to operate at full capacity, Pipeline Holidays is relaunching with an exciting line up of holidays and destinations.
As we follow the NDIS guidelines and philosophies of inclusion and participation, Pipeline Holidays will be concentrating on small group holidays. We aim to provide personalised service and feel we can best offer this by keeping our group tours to a maximum of six participants.
NDIS funding does not cover travel costs such as flights, accommodation, meals and activities. It may be possible to use NDIS funding for normal supports and services that you need while on holidays- if they relate directly to your disability. As you may well be aware the NDIS is restricting funding for companies that use loopholes and overcharging. We have only ever claimed for support provided in a group setting.
We will continue to provide our intimate, personalised and professional tours to participants looking to broaden their horizons, gain independence and confidence. We will endeavour to provide as much choice as possible and will work with the individual to reach their goals. Our tour ratios begin at 1 carer to 2 participants, our maximum ratio for our international tours will be set at 1 carer to 3 participants.
Since we started operating in 1997, I have personally led each Pipeline tour and will continue to do so. Kerrie, after her cancer treatment has made a full recovery and will be back to partner me as a collaborative co-leader of tours.
If you have any questions regarding our tours or NDIS funding of support in a group-based activity, we would love to hear from you.
