The 2025-26 NDIS Price Guide has frozen and cut the prices of key supports, undervaluing the work of support coordinators and plan managers.

For what will be the seventh consecutive year, the NDIA has refused to pass on the Fair Work Commission wage increases for Support Coordination and Plan Management, despite skyrocketing costs, new regulatory demands, and an increasing workload placed on already-stretched providers. The NDIA has also slashed over $35 million in Plan Management funding, through the removal of critical establishment and rural/remote pricing, leaving our sector in outrage over frozen prices and new funding cuts. Further the NDIA have made the decision to cut the amount providers can charge for travel to deliver supports in a persons natural environment – like their home, school or community.

As a result, many providers are scrambling to stay afloat, reducing their service radius, de-registering from the NDIS or closing their doors entirely. The NDIA’s unrealistic approach to pricing undermines the ability of registered providers to deliver quality, sustainable disability services and is undermining NDIS reform and is likely to negatively impact tens of thousands of NDIS Participants and disability workers.

Stand with us as we shout don’t cut care, don’t cut choice, don’t cut quality!

We’re calling for: 

• Pass on the 3.5% Fair Work wage increase and 0.5% superannuation increase to Support Coordination and Plan Management prices immediately, from 1 July – just like they’re doing for other supports.
• Reverse the cut to establishment fees and rural/remote loadings for Plan Managers – these are vital for people living outside cities and starting on the scheme. Particularly with the recent introduction of Section 10 NDIS Support Lists and Section 33 Funding Periods.
• Reverse the cuts to provider travel – so that services can still come to us in our homes and communities, not just in clinics or office settings.
• Set up an independent pricing authority – because pricing decisions should be fair, transparent, and based on the real cost of delivering services. That includes wages, compliance, and the real value of what these services provide.

This is about more than this year’s Price Guide. It’s about building a stem that values quality supports for people with a disability over ‘dodgy data’ and spreadsheets.
