The NDIA publishes 2 documents that relate to the supply and cost of supports under the NDIS. These are updated regularly with the latest NDIS price list on 1 July 2023 :
NDIS Price NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2023-2024
This does not contain prices, but rather policy information and guidance for Providers and Support Coordinators, Plan Managers and Participants. There is a single national price guide.
The NDIA have updated the Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits document to clarify and improve arrangements for some travel costs.
Assistance with daily lie and supported independent living
They have included extra support items for Provider Travel – Non-labour costs. This allows participants to utilise the support from their Core budget in cases where Capacity Building funds are not flexible.
In support of this change, the NDIS Support Catalogue has been updated with new item numbers and descriptions.
General Transport
Updates to a few words, to clarify that this support item allows a participant to pay a provider to transport them to an activity. This could include an activity that is not itself a support. It also includes supports delivered by another provider.
The NDIA have released an updated PAPL with revised wording to provide more clarity for providers of group-based supports and supported independent living.
Group-based supports
The update explains that providers can gradually transition participants as part of a group or centre-based support in stages. This means different groups of participants can transition at different times, which may align better with typical events such as end of program or service agreements.
Supported independent living
Following the annual indexation of a participant’s plan, providers can liaise with participants about the adjusted remaining SIL funds. If the participant agrees, providers can adjust the weekly claim amount based on the number of weeks remaining in the plan and total plan funding available for SIL.
