Tasmanians who have moved onto the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will now have access to a temporary taxi subsidy until next June.

Those who signed on to the NDIS were forced to give up their state-funded taxi rebate cards, known as Smartcards, leaving some people unable to leave the house.

Several families came forward saying the change had left them worse off and they were out of pocket.

Tasmania's Infrastructure Minister Rene Hidding said the temporary card would give the NDIS enough time to properly address individual transport plans.

Kim Martin from Launceston said the stopgap measure would allow her daughter to get her independence back.

"This has changed dynamics in my home once again, giving my 23-year-old daughter the freedom to leave our home day or night without having to rely on me and my schedule," Ms Martin said.

"We were told to look for community service cars, well community service cars don't run on a weekend, they don't run after 5pm.

"Personal use is really important to people ... being able to go out in to the community, go out of a night time, go out of a weekend."

Broader transport issues

While welcoming the move, disability advocate Jane Wardlaw said more needed to be done to address the issue.

"This is an opportunity for the NDIS and the Tasmanian state government to actually conduct a meaningful consultation forum around transport options for people living with disability," she said.

Ms Warldlaw said it was hard for people to talk about their personal circumstance, but it had paid off after those affected by the gap spoke up about their struggles.

"It takes a lot to share your story, and a lot of people have shared their stories so I think they should be congratulated."

A State Government spokesman said it was an "implementation issue" for a small number of users during the transition period.

He said the Government would continue to work with federal counterparts to resolve transport issues.
