Pricing updates

Minister’s pricing determination

We’ve published updated pricing schedules following the Minister for Disability and the National Disability Insurance Scheme’s pricing determination for NDIS supports. The pricing determination has been made in line with NDIS laws.

The maximum prices in the pricing schedules reflect our guidance on recommended prices published in June 2026. Participants and providers don’t need to do anything.

The pricing determination was informed by our advice that considered the cost of safe, efficient, high-quality supports, supports diversity and competition in the NDIS market, and the financial sustainability of the NDIS. This includes the recommendations from the annual pricing review for 2026-27 prices.

Learn more about the pricing schedules and pricing arrangements.

Starting from 1 October 2024, providers may claim Intensive and Complex Behaviour Supports at the same price as High Intensity Supports.

This change addresses concerns that arose when the term “challenging behaviours” was removed from the High Intensity Support definition in pricing guidance.

This applies to:

Assistance with Daily Life Tasks in a Group or Shared Living Arrangement
Daily Personal Activities
Participation in Community, Social and Civic Activities
Group and Centre Based Activities

In line with general claiming rules, providers must:

Provide behaviour support that are in line with participant’s plans.
Be registered and assessed for Module 2A by 30 June 2025, or
Apply for registration (new or amended) with a completed Module 2A audit by 30 June 2025.

Further information can be found in the Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, found on the pricing arrangements archive page.

The NDIA have released a plain English version of the 2023-24 Annual Pricing Review (APR).

This is the first time we have published a plain English version of the APR.

The plain English version does not change any of the recommendations previously released to market in the 2023-24 APR.

The Plain English version of the 2023/24 APR can be found on the pricing review archive page.

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has announced guidance about what the Agency considers to be appropriate and reasonable maximum prices, ahead of proposed broader reforms that will strengthen the NDIS provider market.

This year, the recommendations include the following:

Fully implementing the Fair Work Commission's decision to increase minimum wages in awards and superannuation.
Adjusting price guidance for supports that are determined by the NDIS DSW Cost Model, including Level 1 support coordination services, to reflect changes in the minimum wages following the Fair Work Commission’s Annual Wage Review.
New recommended prices for psychologists, nurses and other supports based on how much wages and the cost of living have gone up.
Maintaining existing pricing arrangements and price limits for therapy (except for psychologists) and support coordination level 2 and 3.
Adjusting short-notice cancellation period for non-Disability Support Worker-related supports to 2 business days to better reflect market norms.

For more information, please visit the pricing review archive webpage.

The plans of NDIS participants will be adjusted starting in July, with funding being indexed on 13 July to account for these pricing changes.

We have also updated some other pricing arrangements and addenda, which can be found by visiting the pricing arrangements archive webpage.
