Understanding NDIS pricing
What are pricing arrangements & price limits?
The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits (PAPL) is the official document that sets the rules and maximum rates providers can charge for NDIS supports. It helps participants get value for money while giving providers clarity on how to bill.
Price limits are the maximum a registered provider can charge — not a fixed price. You and your provider can agree on a lower rate. All rules in the PAPL must be followed by registered providers.
The current 2025-26 arrangements were updated effective 24 November 2025. Rates shown below are national limits for metropolitan NSW (MMM 1-5) unless noted.
Read the official PAPL on ndis.gov.auOur process
How Ruhil Care charges — in four clear steps.
Every claim is mapped to the correct NDIS support item, billed at the right rate for the time and location, and shared with you in plain language.
1
Match the item
We match each delivered support to the correct NDIS category from the Support Catalogue.
2
Apply the limit
We bill at the applicable price limit for time of day, intensity level and location (standard, remote or very remote).
3
Explain extras
Travel, cancellations and non-labour costs are only charged where the PAPL allows — and explained upfront.
4
Share statements
You receive itemised statements so your plan manager, coordinator or family can review every claim.
NDIS price limits only
We never charge above the NDIA maximum for each line item.
Written agreements
Every participant receives a clear service agreement before supports begin.
Monthly statements
Track hours, item numbers and plan usage in plain language.
Value for money
Providers and participants can agree on lower rates where appropriate.

Source: NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26 (effective 24 November 2025). Remote (MMM 6) and very remote (MMM 7) loadings apply higher limits. Centre-based day programs, nursing and complex supports may use additional billing categories — we confirm the correct approach in your service agreement.
When supports happen
Rates by time of day
NDIS price limits increase for evenings, nights, weekends and public holidays. The same support worker delivering care across a shift boundary is billed at the higher applicable rate for the entire shift, per PAPL rules.

Good to know
Pricing details that matter
Remote & very remote loadings
Participants in Modified Monash Model (MMM) 6 or 7 areas have higher price limits — typically 40% and 50% above standard rates respectively. Ruhil Care primarily supports participants across metropolitan and regional NSW; contact us to confirm rates for your location.
Travel & cancellations
Worker travel time and non-labour costs (e.g. vehicle kilometres at $1.00/km) are only charged when permitted under the PAPL and agreed in your service agreement. We ask for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations where possible, in line with NDIS short-notice cancellation rules.
Support Catalogue
Every NDIS support has a unique item number, unit of measure and claim type listed in the Support Catalogue. Your plan manager or our team can help you understand which items your plan funding covers.

Common questions
Pricing FAQs
Does Ruhil Care charge above the NDIS price limit? +
No. As a registered provider we charge at or below the NDIA price limit for each support item. We do not add hidden mark-ups or admin fees on top of NDIS rates.
Can I negotiate a lower price? +
Yes. The PAPL sets maximum limits — providers and participants can agree on lower rates. Talk to our team if you would like to discuss pricing for your specific supports.
Why do weekend rates cost more? +
The NDIA sets higher price limits for evenings, nights, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays to reflect penalty rates and the cost of delivering supports outside standard hours. These are national rules, not Ruhil Care surcharges.
How do I know which item number applies to my support? +
We confirm the correct item number in your service agreement before supports start. It depends on the type of support, time of day, intensity level and whether travel or group ratios apply. Your plan manager can also verify claims against your plan.
