The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) recently introduced updated Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, previously known as the NDIS Price Guide. These changes affect how participants and providers manage budgets, and understanding them is key to making the most of your plan.

Why Pricing Arrangements Matter
The pricing arrangements set the maximum rates providers can charge for specific supports. These rates are reviewed annually to reflect inflation, market conditions, and participant feedback. They’re designed to ensure fair value, protect participant funds, and maintain quality service delivery.

Key Updates You Should Know
Updated Support Rates
Core and capacity-building supports have seen adjusted hourly rates. These may impact services like support work, therapy, and support coordination.

Improved Flexibility
Participants have greater flexibility to move funds within support categories, especially within Core Supports, making it easier to adapt spending to real-life needs.

Changes to Travel and Cancellation Charges
New rules limit how and when providers can charge for travel or cancellations. This helps reduce unexpected costs and improves transparency.

Increased Focus on Value for Money
The NDIA encourages participants to consider value, not just cost—ensuring supports align with individual goals and deliver measurable outcomes.

What You Should Do
Review your current plan with your support coordinator or plan manager to see how the new prices affect your budget.

Check provider rates and ensure they align with the updated price limits.

Staying informed about these changes empowers you to make better choices and ensures your NDIS plan continues to support your goals effectively.
