What is the NDIS Price Guide 2026?

The NDIS Price Guide 2026 is the official rulebook for how much providers can bill for services. It is also called the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.

This document stops providers from overcharging. It gives you a clear idea of what things cost. The NDIA updates these prices every year. They look at the cost of living and staff wages.

We follow these rules to keep our services high quality. You can find the full list on the NDIS website. It helps you stay in control of your NDIS plan.

Why did the NDIS rates change in 2026?

Rates changed to match the rising costs of wages and running a business. The Fair Work Commission decided that support workers should earn more money.

Most price limits went up by 4.36 percent. This helps providers keep good staff. It also covers the cost of superannuation. These changes ensure you still get great support.

Some therapy rates stayed the same this year. This includes things like psychology and speech pathology. We keep our prices transparent so you always know what you are paying.

What are the current hourly rates for 2026?

The hourly rates for 2026 vary based on the type of support you receive. Standard support worker rates are now $70.23 per hour for weekday daytime shifts.

How does travel billing work in Adelaide?

Providers can charge for the time it takes to drive to your home or school. In the Adelaide Metro area, this is usually capped at 30 minutes per trip.

We calculate travel costs based on the hourly rate of the professional. If a therapist visits you, they bill for their travel time. This comes out of your NDIS budget.

We try to keep travel costs low for our families. We group our visits in the same suburbs when we can. You can see how this works on the Fair Work Commission website.

What is neurodiversity-affirming care?

This is a way of providing support that respects how your brain works. We do not try to fix you or change who you are.

We focus on your strengths. Our early intervention team uses this approach every day. We help children and adults feel proud of their unique minds.

This philosophy is part of the Australian Human Rights Commission guidelines. We believe everyone deserves to be themselves. We create inclusive spaces for all our clients.

Can I get Behaviour Support if I am not an NDIS participant?

Yes, you can pay for these services with your own money if you do not have an NDIS plan. We offer private therapy and consultancy for families and schools.

We help many people who are waiting for NDIS approval. Our group programs are open to many different people. We want to help as many people in Adelaide as possible.

You can check your eligibility on the Department of Social Services website. We can talk to you about your options. Just call us to find out more.

How do I read my NDIS service agreement?

A service agreement is a contract between you and your provider. It must show the price of every service you will get.

Check that the prices match the 2026 NDIS Price Guide. It should list the item codes and the hourly rates. You have the right to ask questions before you sign.

We make our agreements easy to read. We want you to feel safe and happy with our care. You can find out more on the Quality and Safeguards Commission website.

Why is progress review important for my budget?

A progress review helps you see if your NDIS money is being spent the right way. We look at your goals and your remaining funds.

We do this regularly to avoid surprises. If you need more support, we help you plan for it. If you have extra money, we suggest new ways to use it.

Our team wants you to get the most out of your plan. We help you stay on track for the whole year. You can talk to us about a review at any time.
