NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits

1st July, 2025

NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits (previously the NDIS Price Guide) assist participants and disability support providers in understanding how 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 available supports 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.

    How pricing decisions are made

    Each year, The NDIA uses a mix of market data, research, and public and industry engagement to inform changes to pricing arrangements and price limits through its Annual Pricing Review. While the Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits are updated throughout the year as necessary, the Annual Pricing Review plays a major role in significant updates to the document – effective 1 July each year.

    To read more about the Annual Pricing Review, please visit the Annual pricing review webpage.

    The NDIA regularly reviews and makes changes to pricing arrangements to ensure our approach:

    • better meets the needs of participants, their families, carers and providers
    • remains affordable and in place for future generations of Australians.

    This is done by appointing expert committees, financial benchmarking, and forming dedicated working groups.

    Find more information on how this is done, please visit our Making pricing decisions webpage.
