NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits
NDIS Pricing Arrangements
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.
Support Catalogue
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
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.

FAQ
Should a plan manager advise you when NDIS funds are low?
Yes, a plan manager should provide regular reports and statements to you directly.
When a plan manager has identified overspend or underspend, the plan manager should advise you as soon as possible, regardless of reporting frequency.
How long should it take a plan manager to pay a provider?
A plan manager should arrange for prompt payment to a provider or prompt reimbursement to you.
The NDIA expects a plan manager to validate an invoice and submit a payment request to the NDIA within five business days of receipt.
Upon receiving payment from the NDIS, the NDIA expects payment or
reimbursement to occur within two business days.
Should a plan manager help to determine whether supports or services are ‘reasonable and necessary’?
No, the role of a plan manager is not to determine whether the supports or services purchased are ‘reasonable and necessary’.
Your plan will have funds approved for reasonable and necessary supports at the planning stage.
The role of the plan manager is to ensure your plan is implemented as intended. This includes ensuring funds are being spent in accordance with your plan.
What is the difference between a plan manager and a
support coordinator?
A plan manager will pay providers for supports delivered. A plan manager will help you monitor your funds, and provide financial reporting.
A support coordinator will support you to understand and implement supports included in your plan. A support coordinator will link you to providers and other community and government services. A support coordinator will also support you to build skills and direction.
