NDIS pricing pages

The number is not yours to set

Since 1 July 2026 the NDIA publishes guidance on appropriate prices, not binding limits. So the figure on your pricing page has a known expiry date.

What changed on 1 July 2026

Limits became guidance

The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits set limits. The NDIS pricing schedule that replaced it is described by the NDIA as providing "guidance on appropriate prices for NDIS supports".

We counted the regulator's page

Guidance 15, price limit 2

On the NDIA pricing updates page, 2,168 words long, "guidance" appears 15 times and "price limit" or "price limits" appears twice. "Cannot charge" and "must not charge" appear zero times.

And caps are coming back

A Minister will set the maximum

The Act that passed both Houses on 19 August 2026 gives the Minister power to make a pricing determination that "will set out the maximum amounts for NDIS supports". None is in force yet.

The mistake we see most

Your website is not the notification

The NDIA states you must talk with participants about any proposed changes to existing service agreements, and that participants must agree before the changes are made. A published price binds nobody who already signed.

The clause providers miss

Represent, not just charge

The NDIS Code of Conduct requires providers not to charge or represent higher prices for the supply of goods for NDIS participants without a reasonable justification. What your page says a thing costs is inside the Code.

What the ACCC named

NDIS approved is not a thing

The ACCC lists "NDIS approved" as potentially misleading, because the NDIS "does not have the function of approving or endorsing particular goods or services". So is anything suggesting a business is affiliated or endorsed by the NDIS.

Three rulebooks, one page

And they do not agree

The NDIS Code wants honesty. The Australian Consumer Law bans misleading representations. If you are a registered practitioner, section 133 separately prohibits testimonials about clinical aspects. Clearing one tells you nothing about the others.

The honest summary

Lead with what you control

State what the hour includes, date your rates, name the document you follow, and say how existing agreements are handled. You do not set the price. You do set what the participant gets for it.
