The NDIA have released their Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits for 2023–24 with information from their Annual Pricing Review.
The following pricing adjustments will be effective as of 1 July 2023. The plans of NDIS participants will be indexed to account for these changes.
Supports delivered by disability support workers
Prices for supports delivered by disability support workers will be increased by 5.3%. This increase has taken the following into account:
Therapy supports
There will be no adjustment to the pricing arrangements and price limits for therapy supports as the NDIA believes pricing remains competitive in the market.
Support coordination and plan management supports
Other supports
The price limit for other supports will be increased by 4.36%.
Temporary Transformation Payment (TTP) Loading
As scheduled, the TTP loading will be further reduced to 1.5%. The TTP Loading will cease from 1 July 2024.
