Who this affects
Providers who charge NDIA-managed or plan-managed participants.
The pricing schedules set the maximum prices for supports, by support item, with national, remote and very remote limits. They apply only to NDIA-managed and plan-managed participants: providers can't charge more than the limit, and the NDIA can't pay more.
The government has also consulted on paying unregistered providers differently for social, civic and community participation, capacity-building daily activities and assisted daily living. Consultation closed on 30 September 2026; no outcome had been published on the pages we checked.
What to do
- Download the 2026–27 pricing schedule and check every item you bill against it.
- Update your price list and service agreements to the new limits.
- If you are unregistered and deliver community participation or daily living supports, watch for the differentiated pricing decision.
