There's no fixed dollar cap on an NDIS plan. Your funding is based on what's reasonable and necessary for your disability and your goals, so plans vary enormously from person to person.

What does exist is price limits on many supports. The NDIA publishes maximum prices providers can charge (the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits). If your plan is agency-managed or plan-managed, providers must charge within those limits. If you self-manage, you can choose to pay above them, though most providers price within the limits anyway.

So the real question isn't "what's the cap?" - it's "what supports do I need and can I show they're reasonable and necessary?" That's where good preparation for your planning meeting makes all the difference.

The only limit on the supports the NDIS fund for you is what's reasonable and necessary for your disability.

There is a price guide for support services. This is based on what the NDIS think is fair and they'll pay that price for supports. If a service provider charges more than that price and you don't self-manage and still want to use them, you'll normally have to pay the difference.
