The ANAO could assess the National Disability Insurance Agency’s (NDIA’s) framework and processes for setting, updating and communicating National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) pricing arrangements and price limits, including the annual pricing review, advice from the Independent Pricing Committee, and incorporation of external data and stakeholder feedback to balance participant access, provider viability and scheme sustainability.

Through its annual pricing review, the NDIA examines NDIS support categories, collects and analyses market data, benchmarks prices against other schemes, and seeks feedback through public consultation papers, and considers expert advice from the Independent Pricing Committee (which was established in September 2024). The NDIA publishes an annual pricing arrangements and price limits document, which sets out regulated price controls for NDIS supports and services, and a NDIS Support Catalogue, which lists available supports providers can use when lodging a payment request. These NDIS pricing arrangements are updated regularly. On 22 April 2026 the Minister for the NDIS announced reforms to the NDIS including changes to pricing arrangements.
