The schedule checked for this refresh is the 2026–27 version effective 24 September 2026. Use the applicable schedule for the service date, item, activity and location. A maximum price is a ceiling for NDIA-managed and plan-managed funding, rather than the rate everyone must charge. Compare the full booking cost and permitted extras. The support rules and your actual plan decide eligibility; finding an item code does not approve a purchase. Open the official pricing documents.

Introduction to the NDIS Support List

This article was the inspiration for our NDIS Guide & Price List websiteplease have a read through our new interactive guide at https://ndisguide.clickability.com.au/

The NDIS Support List outlines the types of supports that can potentially be funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Each support usually includes:

a support item code
a support category
a maximum price limit
rules around how and when it can be claimed

Understanding the support list is useful for:

NDIS participants
family members and carers
support coordinators
plan managers
NDIS providers

This guide brings together the key support categories, common pricing examples, and practical explanations to help people make sense of the system.

Understanding NDIS Price Limits

The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits set the maximum amount a provider can charge for many NDIS-funded supports. Find out the price list across all 622 categories on the Clickability NDIS Pricing Guide

[Clickability update, September 2026: The linked Clickability guide is an explanatory resource. Support items are not the same as statutory support categories, and a listed code does not establish funding eligibility. The official pricing page links the current schedule.]

A few important things to know:

price limits are usually the maximum, not a fixed fee
some providers may charge less than the limit
registered providers must follow NDIS pricing rules where they apply
self-managed participants may sometimes have more flexibility, depending on the support and arrangement

Price limits are designed to help create:

consistency
fairness
transparency
sustainability across the scheme

[Clickability update, September 2026: The three-budget explanation is historical. Current NDIA guidance also describes recurring supports. Check the budgets and restrictions shown in your own plan.]

The Three Main NDIS Budget Types

Most NDIS plans are built around three key budget areas.

Core Supports

Core supports help with everyday activities and day-to-day assistance.

This often includes:

personal care
support workers
household tasks
community access
some transport-related supports

Core funding is often the most flexible part of an NDIS plan.

Capacity Building Supports

Capacity building supports are designed to help a participant build skills, increase independence, and improve long-term outcomes.

This often includes:

therapy
support coordination
employment supports
social and life skills development
plan and decision-making support

Capacity building budgets are usually more specific and less flexible.

Capital Supports

Capital supports cover bigger-ticket items and specific funded purchases.

This may include:

assistive technology
mobility equipment
prosthetics
home modifications
specialised disability accommodation

These supports are usually approved for a specific purpose and cannot simply be moved elsewhere.

Core Supports Explained

Core supports are some of the most commonly used supports in the NDIS.

They generally focus on helping a participant with daily living, participation, and practical assistance.

Examples include:

getting ready in the morning
showering and dressing
preparing meals
attending appointments
going out into the community
household cleaning and maintenance

[Clickability update, September 2026: The dollar examples from this point are retained from the original article. Do not use them as current limits or entitlements. Check the September 2026 schedule by item, region and unit before quoting.]

Assistance With Self-Care Activities

One of the most recognised support areas is Assistance with Self-Care Activities.

This support can include help with:

bathing and showering
dressing
grooming
toileting
transfers and mobility
assistance with daily routines

Typical standard needs rates in the summary card include:

weekday daytime: $70.23
weekday evening: $77.38
Saturday: $98.83
Sunday: $127.43
public holiday: $156.03

These rates help explain why costs can vary significantly depending on when a service is delivered.

For example, a participant receiving support on a Sunday or public holiday may use their budget more quickly than someone receiving the same support during standard weekday hours.

High Intensity Daily Personal Activities

High intensity supports are designed for participants who need more complex care.

This may include supports related to:

enteral feeding
complex bowel care
urinary catheter support
ventilation
seizure management
diabetes support where applicable under NDIS-funded arrangements

The summary card lists the following example rates:

weekday daytime: $75.98
weekday evening: $83.72
Saturday: $106.93
Sunday: $137.87
public holiday: $168.81

These supports generally require workers with specific training and competence.

A key point for participants and families is that not every provider can deliver high intensity supports. It is important to check:

staff qualifications
training
experience
whether the provider is set up to safely deliver that type of care

Night Supports

Night supports are an area many participants and carers want to understand more clearly.

The summary includes different types of night support, including:

night-time sleepover at $297.60 per night
weekday night standard at $78.81
weekday night high intensity at $85.27
weekday night intensive and complex behaviour supports at $85.27

This matters because overnight support can be billed differently depending on the participant’s needs.

For example:

a sleepover may be suitable where support is available if needed
active overnight support may apply when a worker must remain awake and actively support throughout the night

Getting this right is important because overnight support can have a major impact on a participant’s budget.

Assistance With Daily Life

The summary card also includes a number of practical daily life supports.

Examples listed include:

Assistance with Personal Domestic Activities: $59.06
Specialised Home Based Assistance for a Child: $59.06
House and/or Yard Maintenance: $56.98
House Cleaning and Other Household Activities: $58.03
Capacity Building and Training in Self-Management and Plan Management: $80.06

These supports may help participants with:

cleaning
laundry
gardening
household organisation
daily routines
tasks that become difficult because of disability

A common misunderstanding is that the NDIS pays for every household cost or every domestic task. In reality, the focus is on disability-related support needs, not general living expenses everyone has.

[Clickability update, September 2026: The bundled daily prices below are historical. Current STA pricing separates accommodation and support, and STA is not holiday funding. Check current STA purpose and eligibility.]

Short Term Accommodation and Respite

Short Term Accommodation, often called STA or respite, can be a very valuable support.

It may help participants:

build independence
try new environments
develop social skills
give informal carers a break
access structured support away from home

The summary card lists different STA rates depending on the staff ratio.

For a 1:1 ratio, the listed prices are:

weekday: $2,178.57
Saturday: $2,785.13
Sunday: $3,527.69
public holiday: $4,270.25

For a 1:2 ratio, the listed prices are:

weekday: $1,198.69
Saturday: $1,501.97
Sunday: $1,873.25
public holiday: $2,244.53

For a 1:3 ratio, the listed prices are:

weekday: $872.06
Saturday: $1,074.25
Sunday: $1,321.77
public holiday: $1,569.29

For a 1:4 ratio, the listed prices are:

weekday: $708.75
Saturday: $860.39
Sunday: $1,046.03
public holiday: $1,231.67

Because STA pricing can be substantial, participants should always make sure they understand:

what is included
how many nights are funded
the staffing ratio being used
whether activities, meals, and transport are built into the cost

Community Participation Supports

Community access and participation supports play a huge role in helping people build confidence, routine, and connection.

The summary card includes Assistance to Access Community, Social and Recreational Activities with these example standard rates:

weekday daytime: $70.23
weekday evening: $77.38
Saturday: $98.83
Sunday: $127.43
public holiday: $156.03

Higher intensity versions are also listed at:

weekday daytime: $75.98
weekday evening: $83.72
Saturday: $106.93
Sunday: $137.87
public holiday: $168.81

These supports can help participants:

attend activities
build friendships
participate in community programs
access sport and recreation
develop confidence outside the home

For many participants, these supports are about much more than just “going out”. They are often linked to goals around independence, routine, wellbeing, and social inclusion.

Activity Based Transport

The summary card also includes Activity Based Transport.

It lists:

$0.99 per km for a standard vehicle
$2.76 per km for a modified vehicle

This support can be relevant where transport is connected to funded community-based activities.

There are also specific support item codes listed that can be used to claim transport-related costs.

Transport is one of the most confusing parts of the NDIS for many people, because there are different ways it may appear in a plan. In practice, participants may encounter:

transport funding paid as a regular amount
provider travel costs
activity-based transport connected to a support item

These are not all the same thing, so it is worth checking plan wording and provider invoicing carefully.

[Clickability update, September 2026: These generalised travel statements do not establish that every provider can charge both directions or the same travel time. Check the applicable item and claiming conditions before agreeing to travel charges.]

Provider Travel

The summary card includes a section on Provider Travel.

It notes the maximum time providers can usually claim for travel:

in service regions MMM 1 to 3: 30 minutes
in service regions MMM 4 to 5: 60 minutes

This applies both to:

travelling to each participant
travelling from the participant’s location to the provider’s usual place of work

This is useful because provider travel charges can catch participants by surprise. It helps to ask providers up front:

do you charge travel?
how is it calculated?
is it charged both ways?
is it split across multiple participants?

Clear conversations early can prevent confusion later.

Disability Related Health Supports By A Nurse

The summary card includes example price limits for nursing supports.

For CB Daily Activity, the listed weekday daytime rates are:

Enrolled Nurse: $99.88
Registered Nurse: $123.65
Clinical Nurse: $143.04
Clinical Nurse Consultant: $169.16
Nurse Practitioner: $176.85

For Daily Activities, the weekday daytime rates are the same:

Enrolled Nurse: $99.88
Registered Nurse: $123.65
Clinical Nurse: $143.04
Clinical Nurse Consultant: $169.16
Nurse Practitioner: $176.85

The summary card also shows increased evening, night, weekend, and public holiday rates.

These figures help explain why more specialised clinical supports may use funding faster than general support worker shifts.

Participants should remember that not every health-related service is funded by the NDIS. In general, the NDIS focuses on disability-related supports, while the health system remains responsible for general medical care.

Support Coordination

Support coordination is often one of the most valuable supports for helping participants make sense of their plan.

The summary card lists:

Level 1: Support Connection at $80.06
Level 2: Coordination of Supports at $100.14
Level 3: Specialist Support Coordination at $190.54

Support coordination may help a participant:

understand their plan
connect with providers
troubleshoot service issues
build capacity to manage supports
prepare for plan reviews
coordinate complex service arrangements

Specialist Support Coordination is usually reserved for more complex situations and higher support needs.

Capacity Building Supports Explained

Capacity building supports are about helping participants grow skills and confidence over time.

They are often designed to support progress in areas such as:

communication
emotional regulation
employment
learning
independence
decision-making
social participation

Unlike many core supports, capacity building budgets are often tied to more specific categories and cannot simply be moved around.

Improved Living Arrangements

The summary card includes Assistance With Accommodation and Tenancy Obligations at $80.06.

This kind of support can help participants with:

finding housing
maintaining tenancy
understanding housing responsibilities
building skills to live more independently

This can be especially important for participants transitioning to more independent living arrangements.

Increased Social and Community Participation

The summary card lists:

Life Transition Planning at $80.06
Skills Development and Training at $80.06

These supports can help participants:

build confidence
learn social skills
work toward greater independence
prepare for changes in life circumstances
engage more meaningfully in the community

This category can be a strong fit for participants whose goals relate to social connection, routine, confidence, and life skills.

Finding and Keeping a Job

Employment-related supports listed in the summary include:

Employment Related Assessment, Counselling and Advice: $193.99
Employment Assistance: $80.06
Level 2 Coordination of Supports: $100.14
Psychosocial Recovery Coaching, weekday daytime: $105.43
Supports in Employment, weekday daytime: $70.23

These supports may assist with:

work readiness
job planning
confidence building
support in employment settings
finding and keeping work
psychosocial support linked to participation and employment

Employment is a major goal area for many NDIS participants, and these supports can play an important role in helping people move toward open employment or more structured supported work environments.

Improved Health and Wellbeing

The summary card lists:

Dietitian on managing diet for health and wellbeing: $188.99
Exercise Physiologist: $166.99
Personal Trainer: $67.00

These supports focus on improving a participant’s functional capacity and wellbeing where it relates to disability.

This can include things like:

strength and mobility
physical conditioning
safer movement
nutrition support linked to disability needs
routines that support long-term health outcomes

Improved Learning

The summary card lists Transition Through School and To Further Education at $80.06.

This support may help participants, especially younger people, to navigate educational transitions and build confidence in learning-related environments.

Improved Life Choices

The summary card lists Plan Management, monthly fee at $104.45.

Plan management can help participants by:

paying invoices
tracking budgets
reducing admin stress
helping participants use a wider range of providers

For many people, plan management offers a middle ground between agency-managed and self-managed arrangements.

Improved Relationships

The summary card lists:

Specialist Behavioural Intervention Support: $232.99
Behaviour Management Plan Including Training in Behaviour Management Strategies: $232.99
Individual Social Skills Development: $80.06

These supports can be relevant where participants need help with:

emotional regulation
behaviours of concern
social interaction
relationship skills
building safer and more supportive routines

Behaviour support should always be approached carefully and ethically, with a strong focus on participant wellbeing, dignity, and positive outcomes.

Improved Daily Living Skills

This is one of the broadest and most important support areas in many plans.

The summary card includes a wide range of allied health and skill-building supports, including:

Psychologist: $232.99
Physiotherapist: $183.99
Occupational Therapist: $193.99
Speech Pathologist: $193.99
Podiatrist: $188.99

Provision of Hearing Services by an Audiometrist: $166.83
Other Professional: $193.99
Assistive Technology Mentoring: $105.43
Early Childhood Teacher or Educator: $193.99

This category often supports participants to build the practical, cognitive, emotional, and communication skills needed for everyday life.

[Clickability update, September 2026: This historical summary is not a complete current list of stated supports. Use your actual plan wording and the current NDIA budget guidance rather than inferring permission from a category heading. See current budget guidance.]

Supports That Must Be Stated in the Plan

The summary card highlights several supports that must be stated in the participant’s plan.

These include:

accommodation assistance or tenancy assistance in certain contexts
assistance animals
specialist positive behaviour support
high intensity daily personal activities
home modification design and construction
innovative community participation
management of funding for supports
specialist disability accommodation
specialised driver training
support coordination

This is a critical point.

Even if a support sounds relevant to a participant, it does not mean it can automatically be claimed. Some supports require specific approval in the plan before they can be used.

[Clickability update, September 2026: A replacement support needs written NDIA approval before purchase. It is not automatic because an item could be useful or appears in this section. See the replacement-support process.]

Replacement Supports

The summary card also includes Replacement Support Determinations.

It refers to two broad types of items:

Standard commercially available household items

These may potentially be funded where the support:

is necessary to address disability-related needs
increases whole task independence
reduces or eliminates the need for a support worker or disability-specific assistive technology

Smart watches, tablets, smartphones and apps used for accessibility or communication

These may potentially be funded where the support is necessary to address communication or accessibility needs arising from disability.

The summary card also notes general conditions, including that the replacement support should:

replace one or more other NDIS supports
cost the same as or less than the supports it replaces
provide the same or a better outcome for the participant

This is a fast-moving area and one where participants should be especially careful about relying on simplified advice. It is always wise to check current rules and individual plan circumstances before making assumptions.

[Clickability update, September 2026: The arithmetic examples use the historical rates above. Replace the input rate with a verified current quote and allow for other agreed costs before using them to budget.]

A Simple NDIS Price Calculator Guide

Example 1: Support Worker on a Weekday

If a participant receives 10 hours of weekday support at $70.23 per hour, that is about $702.30 per week.

At 20 hours per week, that becomes about $1,404.60 per week.

At 40 hours across a month, that becomes about $2,809.20.

Example 2: Support Worker on a Saturday

If a participant receives 10 hours on a Saturday at $98.83 per hour, that is about $988.30.

Example 3: Support Worker on a Sunday

If a participant receives 10 hours on a Sunday at $127.43 per hour, that is about $1,274.30.

Example 4: Psychology Support

At $232.99 per hour, 10 hours of psychology support would total about $2,329.90.

Example 5: Physiotherapy Support

At $183.99 per hour, 10 hours of physiotherapy would total about $1,839.90.

Example 6: Support Coordination

At $100.14 per hour, 10 hours of support coordination would total about $1,001.40.

These simple examples can help readers quickly understand how fast budgets may be used depending on support type and timing.

How Participants Can Use the Support List

Participants can use the support list and price limits to:

understand what supports may be available
compare provider quotes
better understand invoices
estimate how long budgets may last
prepare for plan reviews
make more informed decisions about providers

The support list can also help participants ask stronger questions, such as:

what support item code are you using?
what is your hourly rate?
do you charge travel?
how will this affect my budget over time?
is this support included in my plan?

How Providers Use Support Item Codes

Providers rely on support item codes when they:

create service agreements
issue invoices
submit claims
align services to plan categories

Using the right code matters because it affects:

whether the support can be claimed
what price limit applies
whether the support matches the participant’s funding

Incorrect coding can create confusion, rejected claims, or disputes, so accuracy matters for both providers and participants.

Practical Tips for Participants and Families

When using the NDIS support list as a reference, keep these practical points in mind.

1. Price limits are not always what you will pay

They are often the maximum, not always the exact fee.

2. Timing matters

Weekends, evenings, nights, and public holidays usually cost more.

3. Not every support is flexible

Some budgets are tightly linked to specific categories or purposes.

4. “NDIS funded” does not mean “automatically approved”

The support still needs to relate to the participant’s plan and goals.

5. Ask for clarity before services begin

Understanding rates, travel, cancellations, and billing structures early can save a lot of stress later.

How Clickability Can Help

Understanding support categories and pricing is one part of the journey.

The next step is finding providers who actually offer the supports a participant needs.

Clickability can help participants:

search for NDIS providers
compare services
read reviews
explore support categories
send service requests

Finding NDIS Providers

Understanding the support list is helpful, but participants still need to find trusted providers that deliver these supports.

Platforms like Clickability allow participants to:

search thousands of NDIS providers
compare services
read verified reviews
send service requests

This makes it much easier to connect with providers who deliver the supports listed in this guide.

Final Thoughts

The NDIS Support List and Price Limits can seem overwhelming at first, but once broken down clearly, they become much easier to understand.

At its core, the support list helps explain:

what kinds of supports may be funded
how those supports are grouped
what the maximum price limits are
where participants need to pay special attention

For participants, families, and providers alike, having a practical reference point can make navigating the NDIS becomes much easier.

The more clearly people understand support categories, pricing, and plan rules, the more confidently they can make decisions about the support they need.

How participants should compare a provider’s quote

Ask for a written quote that separates the delivered support, hours or units, rate and proposed extras. Compare the same service and the same period. A lower hourly price can still produce a higher total if the quote includes more hours or separate charges you did not expect.

Selected national hourly maximums: schedule effective 24 September 2026
Support and item	National maximum	Why the detail matters
House cleaning: 01_020_0120_1_1	$60.10 per hour	Compare with the historical $58.03 example below.
House or yard maintenance: 01_019_0120_1_1	$59.01 per hour	Use the item for the actual work, not a generic household rate.
Occupational therapy direct service: 01_661_0128_1_3	$193.99 per hour	The provider-travel item has a different maximum.

These are selected national examples, not a complete rate card or an entitlement to funding. The official schedule, pages 34 and 47, also lists remote and very remote prices and distinct claim types.

Before you agree, ask: “What will one typical week cost, including the extras you propose?” Then ask what changes if an appointment is cancelled or the service takes longer. Put the answers beside your available budget rather than comparing only a headline rate.

A worked budget example for participants and families

For an eligible cleaning support quoted at $55 an hour, two hours a fortnight over 26 visits totals $2,860. At the selected national maximum of $60.10, the same hours total $3,125.20. The $265.20 difference is a comparison of agreed service prices, not a promised saving. This illustration excludes any separately agreed, permitted charges and assumes funding covers the full period.

If you help a family member compare quotes, keep their preferred worker, communication needs and service quality in the conversation. A useful comparison records both the total cost and what each provider will actually do. Let the participant decide which trade-offs matter.

How plan managers and support coordinators can use this guide

Ask the participant which decision needs resolving: affordability, the correct support item, funding eligibility or an unexplained invoice. Keep these questions separate so a price comparison is not mistaken for permission to buy a support. A plan management service can help with the invoice process; raise an unresolved funding question with the participant’s NDIS contact before committing their money.

Compare each proposal over the participant’s actual funding period. Where several providers share a budget, put their proposed costs together and identify the remaining amount. Record assumptions, including service frequency and proposed extras, so the participant can see what would change the estimate.

What providers should check before reusing an invoice code

Recheck the current item, unit, region and delivered service when documents change. Do not carry an old code forward simply because the worker or participant is unchanged. Keep the effective schedule with the quote and explain the difference between direct service and any separately proposed travel, cancellation or other work.

The official pricing page still links older 2025–26 claiming guidance while updated guidance is being prepared. That older document must not displace the current maximum-price schedule. For an unresolved claim condition, obtain clarification before billing and keep the answer with your records. Check the official pricing documents.

Price limits and support budgets can change separately

The NDIA announced reductions for Social, Economic and Community Participation and Improved Daily Living Skills, with specified exemptions. They apply as plans are created or reassessed from 1 October 2026, or renewed from 1 February 2027. Check your own plan and the NDIA’s commencement and exemption details; a higher price limit does not itself mean your budget has increased.

Questions readers ask

Where can I download the current NDIS price guide?

Use the official NDIA pricing page and select the 2026–27 schedule effective 24 September 2026. It also identifies the separate SDA schedule. Check the effective date rather than relying on a search-result year. Official guidance

Is a provider required to charge the maximum price?

No. Ask for the provider’s actual agreed price and a total quote for the service period, including proposed extras. Official guidance

Does an NDIS support code approve my purchase?

No. The purchase must satisfy the NDIS support rules and fit your plan. Resolve eligibility before committing to a service. Official guidance

Is the NDIS price guide a support worker’s wage rate?

No. A provider’s support price and an employee’s wage are different amounts. Do not read a billable support rate as the worker’s take-home pay. Official guidance
