The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports 4.3 million Australians living with a disability. NDIS ensure that persons with disability get support and amenities to help them take part in community activities. These have encouraged and made it easier for these individuals to reach and strive toward their goals.
The pricing of NDIS has been standardized and outlined the charges of its services and support. This update is made every year, and the new NDIS Pricing Arrangements (formerly known as the NDIS Price Guide) are announced after every financial year.
The NDIS updated the price arrangement.

- NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2022-23 – effective from 1 July 2022
- NDIS Support Catalogue 2022-23 – effective from 1 July 2022
This price regulation ensures that individuals get value for money in their services. All available support catalogue lists can be used by providers when lodging a payment request.
Information on the previous and present cost limits for each support item is found in this catalogue. The maximum amount registered providers can invoice NDIS participants for specific support is the price limit. The catalogue also includes claim types that apply to each price-limited support item. Negotiations on price between the participants and providers for lower prices are allowed.
Addenda
When a participant dies, the NDIS Bereavement Addendum lists allows providers to claim support items. This Addendum is not a document that can stand on its own. It’s read together with the NDIS Pricing Arrangement and Price Limits.
You will find two items in the present Addendum. The first is the plan managers, and the second is the supported independent living (SIL) providers that can be used if a participant dies.

Disability Support Worker Cost Model
This model gives a rough estimate of the charges which are billable per hour that support has been offered. The model accounts for all the charges associated with every billable hour. Updates have been made to the NDIS Disability Support Worker Cost Model to better reflect the cost structures of efficient providers in the sector. The NDIA sets the cost limits for support delivered by disability support workers.

The NDIA often reviews and updates the price arrangements. This ensures that the participants, their families, caregivers, and providers’ needs are well met. It also ensures that the pricing remains affordable for generations to come.
