NDIS Price Increase FAQ
Indexation is a system or technique used by organizations or governments to connect prices and asset values to inflation. This is done by linking adjustments made to the value of a good, service or other metric, to a predetermined index.
If you are self-funded and manage your funds through the portal, you will see that these increases should have taken affect automatically. If you are plan managed or utilise a support coordinator, please contact you them to discuss your plan entitlements.
Irrespective of how you manage your funds, you are able to view your funding via the NDIS Participant portal.

An increase in pricing in line with the NDIS changes is necessary for us to continue to deliver our high quality service. We would like to assure all clients that we will be using these funds to upgrade our facilities and equipment, and will also be introducing a new SMS reminder program in the coming months, to help clients keep track of their sessions in a more convenient way. We are constantly looking at how we can improve the quality of the service we provide, and the processes we are using, and always appreciate feedback and input from our clients on these areas.
It is important to us to continue to facilitate cost effective access to our services, whilst also ensuring that we have a sustainable organisation. We started all of our highly valued services so that these programs would be available to as many people as possible and this continues to be our goal.
