NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27 Provider Checklist

The NDIA has published the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27, with new price limits effective from 1 July 2026. For providers, the operational question is not only which numbers changed, but which service agreements, invoice templates, public price lists, rostering notes, and staff briefing records may need review.

Several common support worker price limits increase in the 2026-27 schedule. The standard support worker rates listed in the schedule include $73.58 for weekday daytime, $81.07 for weekday evening, $82.57 for weekday night, $103.54 for Saturday, $133.50 for Sunday, $163.46 for public holidays, and $311.79 for sleepover.

Some professional support price limits also change. The psychologist price limit is listed at $252.99 per hour. Dietitian is listed at $178.99 per hour, exercise physiologist at $161.99 per hour, and other professional at $156.16 per hour. The operational task is to check which service types your organisation actually uses before changing any wording or files.

Support coordination records may also need a quick check. Support Coordination Level 1 is listed at $80.06 per hour in the 2026-27 schedule, while some other support coordination and therapy items remain unchanged. Plan management monthly processing remains listed at $104.45.

A practical provider checklist can start with five files: public price list, service agreement or schedule of supports, invoice or claim support template, roster or shift-cost reference, and staff guidance. Record the source document, checked date, responsible owner, affected service types, and whether participants or representatives need updated written information.

Do not turn a pricing update into a rushed admin edit. If a participant, nominee, coordinator, or finance team member asks about a changed rate, staff should be able to find the official source checked, the internal owner, the relevant service date, the file that was updated, and any follow-up question that still needs review.

General operational information only. This article does not recommend what a provider should charge, what a participant should purchase, what a provider should claim, or whether a provider's process meets any legal, regulatory, funding, or contractual requirement. Review the official NDIA documents and seek appropriate advice where needed.
