NDIS Price Limit Checker
Check the maximum price a provider can charge for common NDIS supports. Choose the support, when it happens and where it's delivered. Results use the official NDIS Support Catalogue.
Using: NDIS Support Catalogue 2026-27 v1.1, effective 24 September 2026. Prices include GST.
Search by support name or NDIS item number.
The price limit depends on where the support happens, not where you live. Most cities and regional towns are Standard. Remote and Very remote price limits apply in areas classed as MMM 6 and MMM 7 under the Modified Monash Model, and in a few towns the NDIS has reclassified. If you're not sure, ask your provider or plan manager.

Get MatchedHow to use the checker
- Type the support you're getting a price for, or its NDIS item number. Common supports appear first, then matching items from the full NDIS Support Catalogue.
- Choose when the support happens. Many supports have different price limits for weekdays, evenings, nights, weekends and public holidays.
- Choose where the support is delivered: Standard, Remote or Very remote.
- Compare the price limit with your provider's quote or invoice. If your funding is NDIA-managed or plan-managed and the provider is charging more than the limit, ask them why.
What the price limit means
- It's a maximum, not a set price. Providers can charge less, and you can compare quotes.
- It applies to NDIA-managed and plan-managed funding, whether or not the provider is registered.
- It doesn't apply to self-managed funding. If you self-manage, you can agree a different price, but your spending still needs to be value for money.
- Prices include GST. Most disability supports are GST-free, so you shouldn't usually see GST added on top.
- Some supports don't have a price limit. For these, the provider should give you a quote before the support starts.

Frequently asked questions
What is an NDIS price limit?
A price limit is the maximum amount a provider can charge for a support when your funding is NDIA-managed or plan-managed. The limits are set out in the NDIS Pricing Schedule and the NDIS Support Catalogue, and the NDIS reviews them each year.
Do price limits apply if I self-manage?
No. Price limits don't apply to self-managed funding, so you can negotiate a price with your provider. You still need to make sure the support is value for money and fits within your budget.
Why are evening, weekend and public holiday prices higher?
Support workers are paid higher rates at these times, so the NDIS allows higher price limits. Your provider's quote and service agreement should say which rate applies to each support.
What if my support runs across two time bands?
If one worker provides a support that crosses from one time band or day into another, for example from weekday evening into night, the provider can charge the higher price limit for the whole support.
What do Remote and Very remote mean?
The NDIS uses the Modified Monash Model (MMM) to classify locations. Areas classed as MMM 6 are Remote and MMM 7 are Very remote, and a few towns have been reclassified by the NDIS. These areas have higher price limits because supports cost more to deliver there. What matters is where the support is delivered, not where you live. If no remote price is listed for a support, the standard price limit applies.
How do price limits work for group supports?
When a support is delivered to a group at the same time, the price limit is divided by the number of people in the group. For example, if three people share a support, each person can be charged up to a third of the price limit.
Can providers charge for travel?
For some supports, providers can claim for time spent travelling to you and some travel costs, within the rules in the NDIS Pricing Schedule. The checker shows whether travel can be claimed for the support you chose. Ask your provider to explain any travel charges in their quote before you agree to it.
Can providers charge for cancellations?
For some supports, providers can charge if you cancel at short notice, as set out in the NDIS Pricing Schedule and your service agreement. Check the cancellation terms in your service agreement before you sign.
What is non-face-to-face support?
Some supports include time a provider spends working for you when you're not there, such as planning your supports or contacting other services. Providers can only claim this for certain supports and should agree it with you first.
What are reports requested by the NDIA?
For some supports, providers can charge for writing a report when the NDIA asks for one, for example before a plan reassessment. The provider should tell you before they charge for it.
What should I do if a provider charges more than the price limit?
Ask the provider to explain the charge. If your funding is plan-managed, your plan manager shouldn't pay more than the price limit. You can also contact the NDIA on 1800 800 110 for help.
How up to date is this checker?
It uses the version of the NDIS Support Catalogue shown at the top of this page. We update it when the NDIS publishes new prices. Always check the official NDIS Pricing Schedule before agreeing to a price.
