How pricing works
The NDIA sets price limits for some supports to ensure they provide value for money for participants.
Changes to prices are updated to respond to market trends and changes in costs and are generally identified through an Annual Price Review. The Annual Price Review is undertaken by the NDIA in the lead up to a new financial year, with any new prices outlined in an updated price guide, effective 1 July each year.
The Pricing Reference Group helps guide NDIS price regulation activities and decisions.
Refer to the Annual price review page for the latest updates.
Providers can also read the NDIA's Market position statements and recently released quarterly data on the performance of the NDIS.
