An increase to price limits for therapy, attendant care and community participation under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) becomes effective on July 1, 2019. These increases will inject more than $850 million into the NDIS market in 2019-20 so participants can access services and supports to meet individual needs.
The prices include a minimum increase of almost $11 per hour for therapists and up to a 15.4 per cent increase to the base limit for attendant care and community participation.
