Self-managing your NDIS plan? These price limits don’t bind you. What applies instead
If you self-manage your plan
Self-managed participants are not bound by the price limits in the NDIS pricing documents. You can pay less than the limit, or more if you choose, as long as you follow the NDIS rules and guidelines for self-management: buying only NDIS supports related to your disability, and keeping records of what you spend.

Plan-managed and agency-managed (NDIA-managed) participants are bound by the price limits shown here. The NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026–27 applies its maximum amounts only to these two ways of managing a plan.
Price limits are now set in law
Since 24 September 2026, NDIS price limits are legal maximums. The Minister sets them in the NDIS (Pricing Arrangements) Determination 2026, which includes the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026–27. The amounts did not change: they are the same price limits that started on 1 July 2026. Each result shows where the item sits in the Schedule.
The NDIS says updated pricing and claiming guidance is coming soon. Until it is published, the descriptions and claiming rules in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025–26 continue to apply, including for new and changed support items.
Where this information comes from
Prices and item details come from the NDIS Support Catalogue, the spreadsheet version of the NDIS price limits. For every support item it lists the item number and name, the registration group, the support category (including the newer PACE category), the unit, whether a quote is needed, the price limits for Perth metro (“National”), remote and very remote areas, and which types of claim the item allows.
Providers use the catalogue to set up their billing systems and check prices; participants, families and plan managers can use it to see what a support can cost. The catalogue follows the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, which set out the rules behind each claim.
Each item is also matched to the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026–27, the document the law refers to. It lists 611 support items with a maximum amount, grouped into appendices such as Disability Support Workers (DSW Levels 1 to 3), Therapy and Professional Supports, and Early Childhood Supports. Most assistive technology, consumables and home modification items, and items claimed in $1 units, are not in the Schedule, so their result says “Not listed”. We checked every price in the Schedule against the catalogue, and they all match.

What the claim types mean
Most supports are claimed as a direct service, delivered face to face. Some items can also be claimed in the ways below, but only when the NDIS allows it for that item and your service agreement says so in advance.
- Non-face-to-face
- Work done for you when you are not there, such as writing a report for your other providers or researching something linked to your goals. It must be part of your support, not general admin like rostering, bookings or invoicing.
- Provider travel
- The worker’s time travelling to you (usually capped at 30 minutes each way in cities, 60 minutes in regional areas), plus a fair share of costs like parking, tolls or kilometres. For therapy, travel time is capped at half the hourly price limit. Travel can only be claimed when the support is face to face.
- Short notice cancellation
- If you cancel with less than 2 clear business days’ notice (7 days for support worker items), or don’t show, the provider can charge up to the full agreed fee — if they couldn’t fill the time and the service agreement allows it. Providers can choose to waive it.
- NDIA requested reports
- Reports the NDIA asks for, such as at the start of a plan or for a plan reassessment, charged at the item’s rate.
- Irregular SIL
- Extra Supported Independent Living support for unplanned events, like being unwell at home or a day program being cancelled.
Claim rules summarised from the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025–26. These explanations apply until the NDIS releases updated ones for new or changed items. The 2026–27 price limits and item flags come from the Support Catalogue.
Price limits are maximums, not set prices. Providers and participants can agree to a lower price. Self-managed participants are not bound by them (see above). Some supports need a quote or have extra rules, so always check the official documents before claiming.
