Key changes following the release of the NDIS 2024-25 Annual Price Review Report
What is the Annual Pricing Review?
- Every year the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) gathers information to review the pricing arrangements and price limits that registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) providers use.
- These changes apply to all supports by Agency-managed and plan-managed participants. They do not apply to self-managed participants.The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has released its 2025–26 Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits (PAPL), effective 1 July 2025. This annual update, shaped by the 2024–25 Annual Pricing Review (APR), brings some big changes for participants, providers, and the broader disability community.
- The key changes are effective from the 1 July 2025.
What Does This Mean for Participants?
Plan funding will be automatically adjusted from mid-July 2025 to reflect the new price limits. No immediate action is needed.
Note the Early Childhood Supports Age Limit has been extended
The early childhood approach now covers children up to 9 years old (previously 7). This change gives families more time to access early intervention supports during critical developmental years.
New support line items have also been introduced for a broader range of early childhood professionals, including:
- Developmental educators
- Speech pathologists
- Occupational therapists
- Social workers
- Art/music therapists
- Podiatrists and,
- Dietitians.
The extension of early childhood supports offers more flexibility for families during those important early years.
