The Independent Pricing Committee (IPC) has released its Final Pricing Report: 2025.
The IPC was established in September 2024 to review the Agency’s approach to pricing and found that a more nuanced approach, with price differentiation, would create better outcomes for NDIS participants and providers.
The IPC Review will inform future reforms to pricing, with the NDIA committed to publishing a roadmap in the coming months outlining how future pricing reforms will be delivered.
Background
The Government established the Independent Pricing Committee in September 2024 to review the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) pricing approaches.
The role of this committee was to recommend changes designed to lead to a higher quality and sustainable disability provider market to the NDIA Board, as well as to review how NDIS price limits are set and investigate if there are more effective approaches.
This work was done alongside and complements the future-focused work being done by the Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority (IHACPA).
The IPC also supported the NDIA in identifying key risks and issues, such as:
- Providing independent advice and recommendations on a strategic pricing approach that is responsive to market conditions, regulations and potential future reforms.
- Offering guidance on the use of price limits in the context of market stewardship that seeks to facilitate competitive NDIS provider markets that reliably deliver safe, efficient and effective supports and services.
- Reviewing the NDIS market structures to identify trends, challenges, and financial sustainability of NDIS providers across different disability markets.
