NDIS Pricing Guide

The NDIS has two types of funding: core and capacity building. Core funding covers day-to-day support, while capacity building funding covers long-term goals and aspirations. Within each of these funding categories, there are different price limits, depending on the type of support you need. For example, the price limit for Assistance with Daily Life (core support) is currently $51.50 per hour, while the price limit for Improved Health and Wellbeing (capacity building support) is $180.80 per hour.

It's important to note that these price limits are just that - limits. Service providers may charge less than the price limit, but they cannot charge more. If a service provider charges less than the price limit, the savings can be put towards other services or equipment you may need.

There are a few fees and charges that you may encounter when using your NDIS funding. These include:

• Service provider fees: This is the amount that a service provider charges for the support they provide. As mentioned above, service providers cannot charge more than the NDIS price limit for that support.
• Plan management fees: If you choose to have your NDIS plan managed by a plan manager, they may charge a fee for their services. This fee is typically a percentage of the funding in your plan.
• Support coordination fees: If you require support coordination to help you navigate the NDIS, your support coordinator may charge a fee for their services. This fee is also typically a percentage of the funding in your plan.
• Excess support fees: If you use more funding than is allocated in your plan for a particular support, you may be charged an excess support fee. This fee is typically charged at the NDIS price limit for that support.

To get the most out of your NDIS funding, it's important to plan ahead and make sure you're using your funding in the most efficient way possible. Here are a few tips for maximizing your NDIS funding:

• Be clear about your goals: Make sure you have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve with your NDIS funding. This will help you prioritize your spending and ensure that you're using your funding to achieve your goals.
• Shop around: Don't be afraid to shop around for service providers to find the best price. Just remember that the service provider must be registered with the NDIS and cannot charge more than the NDIS price limit.
• Use your funding wisely: Make sure you're using your funding in the most efficient way possible. For example, if you have unused funding in one area, you may be able to use it to increase funding in another area.
• Keep track of your spending: Make sure you're keeping track of your spending and staying within your budget. This will help you avoid excess support fees and make sure you're getting the most out of your funding.

In conclusion, the NDIS pricing can be complex, but with a little bit of knowledge and planning, you can make sure you're using your funding in the most efficient way possible. We hope this NDIS pricing guide has helped you understand the
