Every year the NDIA reviews its pricing guidance. The NDIS Pricing Schedule effective 1 July 2026 lists the current recommended maximum prices. Here is what to check in plain English.
What actually changed?
The 2026–27 Annual Pricing Review updated the guidance for some supports. Some recommended maximum prices rose, some fell and some stayed the same. A price limit is not a compulsory fee. You and your provider can agree on a lower price.
Does the new schedule change my total funding?
The price schedule and your plan budget are related, but they are not the same thing. The schedule alone does not tell you whether your total funding changed. Check the amount in your participant portal or app. If an agreed hourly price changes, also check how many support hours the available budget can cover.
Do I need to do anything?
Check whether your provider proposes a rate change and whether the available budget still supports the roster you want:
- If a provider proposes a different price, ask how it relates to the current price limit and your service agreement. Price limits are maximums, not compulsory fees.
- If you are unsure whether your plan still covers what you need at the new prices, that is a good conversation to have with your support coordinator.
Not sure how this affects your plan?
This is exactly what a good support coordinator is for — making sense of the numbers so you do not have to. We can look at your plan with you, check your supports still line up with your funding, and sort out any service-agreement questions.

Frequently asked questions
Did NDIS prices go up on 1 July 2026?
Some recommended maximum prices rose, some fell and some stayed the same under the schedule effective 1 July 2026. Check the current official schedule for the support item that applies to you.
Did the price schedule change my total plan funding?
The price schedule does not by itself show whether your total plan funding changed. Check your participant portal or app, and ask your NDIS contact if the amount is unclear.
Do I have to agree to changes in my service agreement?
Check the price-change terms in your service agreement. Ask the provider to explain the proposed rate, effective date and applicable NDIS price limit in writing. You can negotiate the price and decide whether the revised service arrangement suits you.
Where can I get help understanding my plan?
A support coordinator can walk you through it and check your supports still line up with your funding at the new prices. You can also speak to our team on (02) 7265 1558 — we are happy to help.
