If you receive NDIS support, you may have heard about the NDIS Price Guide 2025–26. This guide explains how much providers can charge for different supports funded under the NDIS.
Understanding the pricing guide helps participants, families, and carers make better choices and avoid confusion about costs.
What Is the NDIS Price Guide?
The NDIS Price Guide 2025–26 is an official document that sets the maximum prices NDIS providers can charge for supports and services.
It covers things like:
- Support worker hourly rates
- Personal care supports
- Community participation supports
- Supported Independent Living (SIL)
- Therapy supports
- Travel and provider costs
This guide protects participants by making sure pricing stays fair and consistent across Australia.
Why the 2025–26 NDIS Pricing Guide Matters
Each year, the NDIS updates its pricing to reflect:
✔ Cost of living changes
✔ Workforce wages
✔ Support delivery expenses
✔ Industry standards
The NDIS pricing guide 2025–26 helps providers plan services and helps participants understand how their funding is used.
How It Affects Your NDIS Plan
Your NDIS plan funding is divided into support categories. The price guide controls how much can be spent per hour or per service.
This means:
- Higher rates = funding may be used faster
- Lower rates = funding may stretch longer
- Some supports have weekday, weekend, and public holiday pricing
Understanding pricing helps you use your plan wisely across the year.
NDIS Support Worker Rates (2025–26)
The guide includes pricing for:
- Standard weekday support
- Evening supports
- Saturday and Sunday supports
- Public holiday supports
- High-intensity personal care
Rates vary depending on skill level and time of day.
If you receive in-home disability support, community access, or personal care, these rates apply to the support workers assisting you.
Core Supports and Pricing
The NDIS core supports budget often covers:
- Assistance with Daily Life
- Social and Community Participation
- Transport supports
The NDIS 2025–26 price guide lists how much can be charged for these everyday supports.
Does the Price Guide Change Your Services?
No — your services don’t automatically change.
But pricing updates may affect:
- How many hours of support you can use
- Provider invoices
- Plan budgeting
Good providers explain these changes clearly so participants stay in control.
Where to Get Help Understanding NDIS Pricing
The pricing guide can be confusing. You can get help from:
- Your NDIS support coordinator
- Your provider
- Plan managers
- Local NDIS support teams
They can explain how the NDIS price guide 2025–26 applies to your plan.
