NDIS Pricing 2026–27: What's changing and what it means

The NDIS pricing schedule for 2026–27 will come into effect on 1 July. Here is a summary of what moved, what held, and what it means in practice.

Plan management and support coordination

The plan management fee stays at $104.45. The government has confirmed it will remain there until the commissioning process in October 2027, which gives everyone reasonable certainty for the period ahead.

Support coordination rates are also unchanged across all levels: $80.06 for Level 1, $100.14 for Level 2, and $190.54 for specialist coordination.

This is what we expected, and it is what we planned for.

Therapy rates

There was more movement here. Psychology increased to $252.99 per hour, up from $232.99, a rise of 8.6%. It is the only therapy discipline to receive an increase this year.

On the other side, the "Other Professional" therapy rate dropped from $193.99 to $156.16, a reduction of nearly 20%. Dietitians fell to $178.99 and exercise physiologists to $161.99.

Occupational therapy, speech pathology, physiotherapy and podiatry were all held flat at their current rates.

Core supports, nursing and wages

Disability support workers, SIL, community supports, employment supports, behaviour supports and nursing all received increases between 3.6% and 4.8%, in line with the Fair Work Annual Wage Review. Psychosocial recovery coaching increased by 4.8%.

Travel and transport

This is the most significant structural change in the update. Provider travel (non-labour costs) and activity-based transport have both been reduced to a nominal $1.00. For providers who relied on recovering those costs, this is a real hit and one worth understanding if it applies to your services.

What comes next for Kismet

Holding the fee steady does not mean standing still.

We have spent this year building behind the scenes: sharpening how we work, improving our processes, and investing in the kind of efficiencies that mean claims clear faster and questions get answered sooner. Pricing certainty gives us the runway to keep doing that well.

The plan was never simply to keep up. It was to get better while we do.

So as the new financial year begins, our commitment is this: the same steady, reliable support you already trust, delivered faster, more clearly, and with the same care that has always defined how we work.

If you have questions about how any of these changes affect your plan or your service agreements, get in touch.
