From 1 July 2026, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) introduced its latest NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Annual Pricing Review. These updates guide the maximum prices providers can charge for many NDIS-funded supports and also include changes to some claiming and invoicing rules. [NDIS Pricing Updates]

If you’ve seen headlines about the new pricing and wondered, “Will this affect my support?”, you’re not alone.

The good news is that these pricing changes do not automatically reduce your NDIS plan or stop your supports. However, understanding what has changed can help you make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary stress.

Why does the NDIS update pricing every year?

Each year, the NDIA reviews pricing to ensure disability support services remain sustainable while continuing to deliver quality care. This annual review considers industry costs, workforce changes and the needs of participants before releasing updated pricing arrangements. [NDIS Pricing Updates]

For participants, this means providers may need to adjust how certain services are priced or claimed under the updated schedule.

Will my funding change?

In most cases, no.

The annual pricing review is different from your personal NDIS plan review.

Your approved funding remains based on your goals, supports and plan unless the NDIA conducts a separate review of your plan.

What may change is the maximum amount a provider can claim for some supports under the updated pricing arrangements.

What should participants do now?

Rather than worrying, take these simple steps:

1. Talk to your provider

Ask whether the new pricing arrangements affect any of the services you currently receive.

2. Review your service agreement

Ensure your agreement reflects current pricing where necessary.

3. Monitor your funding

Keeping an eye on your budget helps you understand how your supports are being used throughout your plan.

4. Ask questions

If something is unclear, speak with your Support Coordinator or Plan Manager before making decisions.

What do these changes mean for families?

For many families, the annual pricing review can seem confusing.

The important thing to remember is that pricing updates are designed to keep the NDIS system current and sustainable. They don’t automatically mean you’ll lose support or receive less funding.

Having open conversations with your provider can help ensure there are no surprises.
