What the NDIS pricing arrangements and price limits are
The NDIS pricing arrangements and price limits helps you know the maximum amount to pay for NDIS supports. It lets providers know the most they can charge for NDIS supports.
You and your providers can negotiate pricing for NDIS supports, but can’t pay or charge more than the price limits in most cases.
What the NDIS pricing arrangements and price limits are for
The NDIS pricing arrangements and price limits make sure:
- we meet the needs of participants, their families, carers and providers
- pricing is evidence-based and NDIS supports are affordable
- the NDIS remains in place for future generations of Australians.
We regularly review and make changes to NDIS pricing. We consider things like the business costs of delivering NDIS supports and wages for support workers.
We set the pricing to make sure participants get value for money in their NDIS supports.
Aside from the information in the NDIS pricing arrangements and price limits document, we also explain NDIS pricing in the NDIS support catalogue. Both documents have the same price information.
It’s important you understand how they are different so you can get the answers you need.
What the NDIS pricing arrangements and price limits are like
Document 1: The NDIS support catalogue
The NDIS support catalogue is a long list of prices, organised in a spreadsheet. It’s updated each year.
This is the document you need if you’re looking for a simple list of prices. It includes every NDIS support, their price limits, support categories, descriptions and line item numbers.
It also includes the prices providers can charge for them.
It’s a long list and can be overwhelming to look at. It can, however, be very helpful in managing your NDIS funding and negotiating prices if you learn how to use it.
The second document (NDIS pricing arrangements and price limits) may give you more answers if you aren’t sure what the support items mean.

Document 2: NDIS pricing arrangements and price limits
The NDIS pricing arrangements and price limits has the same list of prices but also includes lots of background information and explanations about the support budgets, categories, claiming rules and in-depth information about each support.
This includes information about transport, employment, therapy and much more.
It sets out the general pricing arrangements that apply to all NDIS supports and the specific arrangements that apply to individual supports.
Use the NDIS support catalogue instead if you need a simple list of prices without the extra information.
The NDIS pricing arrangements and price limits document is updated each year.
