NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits
NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits (previously the NDIS Price Guide) assist participants and disability support providers to understand the way that price controls for supports and services work in the NDIS.
Price regulation is in place to ensure that participants receive value for money in the supports that they receive.
The Support Catalogue lists all of the available supports that providers can use when lodging a payment request.
It also provides information on the current (and previous) price limits for each support item and indicates which claim types (travel, non-face-to-face, etc.) apply for each price-limited support item.
Price limits are the maximum prices that registered providers can charge NDIS participants for specific supports.
Participants and providers can negotiate lower prices. The rules outlined in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits must be followed when supports are delivered to NDIA-managed or plan-managed participants.
The NDIA regularly updates pricing arrangements.

Disability Support Worker Cost Model
The cost model estimates the cost of delivering a billable hour of support taking into account all of the costs associated with every billable hour.
The NDIS Disability Support Worker Cost Model has been updated to better reflect the cost structures of efficient providers in the sector.
This model is the basis of the price limits set by the NDIA for supports delivered by disability support workers.

Pricing updates
The NDIA regularly reviews and makes changes to pricing arrangements to ensure our approach:
- better meet the needs of participants, their families, carers and providers
- remains affordable and in place for future generations of Australians.
