If you or a loved one has recently become an NDIS participant, one of the most critical tools at your disposal is the Government Guide. This is especially crucial if you reside in Western Sydney, where the needs and resources can be unique. Here’s how you can understand and make the most of this important document. 

Understanding the Price Guide 

The NDIS Price Guide serves as a comprehensive list outlining the costs for each support item or service. Each service type has a specific number allocated to it, which you can find listed in the guide. 

Local Adjustments in Western Sydney 

It’s essential to understand that providers in Western Sydney may adjust their prices within the boundaries of the NDIS Price Guide. Always make sure you compare the rates among different providers to get the most value. 

Know Your Caps 

The NDIS Price Guide sets the maximum price for each support item. For example, let’s say the maximum price cap for a specific type of personal care assistance is $50 per hour. You cannot be charged more than this by an NDIS-registered provider. 

Plan Management Examples 

For those who find the Price Guide overwhelming, NDIS offers professional plan management services. A typical example of a plan might include the following elements: 

• • Weekly personal care assistance 

• • Monthly occupational therapy sessions 

• • Mobility equipment costs 

Each of these elements will have a specific allocation of funds, governed by the prices listed in the Price Guide.
