Cancellation of a client’s reservation may incur cancellation fees, please see “Cancellation of your holiday” heading below for further information.

For any holiday using the client’s NDIS plan, bookings are not finalised until a Service Agreement and Schedule of Supports are signed with Trusted Travel (The Disability Trust) for their NDIS supports.

Cancellation of your holiday

If you choose to withdraw your booking after 14 days of submission, you may be liable for a non-refundable administration fee. This fee may be waived in extenuating circumstances at Trusted Travel’s discretion.

Self-funded charges, excluding self-funded service packages, may be applied for late cancellation of a holiday. If you cancel, you may be liable for:

  • 30 days or more where bookings have commenced – loss of 10% deposit of non-NDIS expenses
  • 14-30 days – 50% of total cost of non-NDIS expenses

NDIS-funded charges may also be applied for service cancellation. Once a booking is received, Trusted Travel reserves the right to make NDIS-funded bookings on the client’s behalf. Once bookings have commenced, the client may be liable to pay up to 100% of the NDIS costs associated with the holiday even in the event of non-attendance or cancellation from their NDIS plan or, where the charges conflict with the NDIS cancellation policy and service agreement, from their personal finances.

If the client has elected to self-fund their service package, Trusted Travel reserves the right to make bookings on the client’s behalf. Once bookings have commenced, the client may be liable to pay up to 100% of the self-funded service costs associated with the holiday even in the event of non-attendance or cancellation.

Cancellations by Trusted Travel due to COVID-19

Unfortunately, where increased risks indicate the best course of action at that time is to cancel plans for travel, Trusted Travel may need to cancel a group holiday prior to departure. The health, wellbeing and safety of our clients and the enjoyment of travelling on holidays without extra stress are of the upmost importance. If this decision is made, we will notify affected travellers as soon as possible.

Trusted Travel will not charge any cancellation fees or charges where the change has been deemed required by our Travel Consultants. Anything already paid by the client in this instance will be offered as a full refund or credit for a future holiday.

Holiday change or tour cancellation

Trusted Travel will endeavour to operate all tours/holidays as planned and to the itinerary advertised.

If alternative or suitable arrangements cannot be made, you will be entitled to a full refund or transfer to another holiday of equal or lesser value.

Where variations are requested by a client to the group holiday package advertised, prices may vary from the advertised price.

Frequent Flyer programmes

Trusted Travel will endeavour to use preferred suppliers by clients for all services where possible. If you’ve provided your Frequent Flyer details in the booking form, Trusted Travel cannot guarantee that the details you’ve provided will be relevant to the provider that you are flying with. This is due to conflicting airline schedules and potential increases in cost.

Please consult your doctor for any advice before travelling. In the case that you can’t be supported effectively due to your vaccination status, Trusted Travel may have to cancel your booking and a credit or refund may not be offered.
