What is the NDIS price guide?

The National Disability Insurance Agency sets price limits for some products and services. These update price limits are updated on at least an annual basis with new pricing coming into effect on 1 July each year.

The reason for the price limits is that the NDIA were concerned about price increases with the introduction of the NDIS. At full scheme the disability sector will have increased funding from $8bn under the old state based systems to $22bn at NDIS full scheme. The price caps were designed to protect participants from significant increases in price and to provide value for money for participants while the new market system is introduced.

Not all NDIS support items have price limits, and the NDIS Price Guides are not a comprehensive list of all supports that are available to NDIS participants. The Price Guide lists the specific supports that have maximum prices, and also sets out other rules and support definitions that are part of NDIA's market intervention approach.

What are the big changes to NDIS pricing on July 1 2019 ?

On 1 July this year, there will be substantial increases to the maximum price that some providers can charge. It is important to remember that this is the price cap, it is not the NDIS price nor a recommended price.
​

Attendant care

Price limits for care, which covers the day-to-day needs of people with disabilities, will increase from between 5.6 and 15.4 per cent, depending on factors such as location, shift times and staff experience levels. For example, the base price for level 1 weekday support will increase to $50.47, an increase of 7.6 per cent on the base in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania.

Allied Health Professionals
Under the changes, hourly price limits for therapists such as occupational therapists and speech pathologists will increase by $11 per hour from $179 to $190.

Psychologist and physiotherapist rates will also rise depending on where they are based, with increases of up to $51 per hour in some locations.
