5 Introduction The following price list has been developed by NDIA to help estimate and approve the cost of individualised plans. The list contains information on maximum or benchmark prices of identified supports. Registered service providers with the NDIA have agreed to provide services at a cost that aligns with this list. This list identifies 32 clusters or groupings of similar supports. Beneath each cluster are support items and detailed descriptions. The document is not a comprehensive list of all supports that may be provided in NDIS, but includes prices for the most commonly used supports that assist participants to achieve their outcomes. The document is intended to assist providers to claim against a support item and to assist participants in engaging and negotiating delivery of services with disability support workers and organisations. As occurs with the revised Guide, providers are encouraged to use a Best Fit approach if a specific item is not listed in the Catalogue. Providers are to maintain accurate records of service provision, including the type, time of day and duration, in accordance with the Service Agreement developed with the participant. Provider claims are monitored by the Agency and provider records are subject to audits conducted or commissioned by the Agency. Definition of terms Term item reference number UoM (Unit of Measure) Quote Definition This is the unique number that NDIA assigns to a particular support. The support item reference number includes the relevant code from ISO 9999 for Assistive Technology. This indicates what the price covers e.g. per hour, per day, or each for goods. Where Items cost $500 or less, a verbal or published price is enough. For Items that cost between $500 and $10,000, an outlining the cost is required. For Items that will cost more than $10,000, a detailed written quote is necessary. In the latter case, competitive quotes will be sought from 2 or more suppliers. The Agency provides guidance on the price to be paid for each support item. For some items, such as personal care and community access, the amount indicates the maximum price that the Agency will pay for that support. For other items, indicative prices are published and a quote is required for some items.this is indicated where applicable. Very Remote Release Date: 01/08/15 Page 5

6 Features common to the existing catalogue and the revised NDIA Guide: Maximum s Maximum prices remain for personal care, community access, domestic assistance and professional services. These have been indexed at the appropriate rates for the 2015/16 Financial Year to take effect from 1 August Indicative s There are several items that lend themselves to a some variation in pricing. This is particularly the case with Assistive Technology. A supplier/provider needs to notify NDIA of any necessary increase above the amount in the plan providing reasons for this increase above the Agency s indicative rate. Quotes Quotes are required from providers for a number of service offers. This most commonly occurs for the following supports: supported accommodation; early childhood intervention services; multidisciplinary programs; customised assistive technology; and home modifications. GST Most supports funded by the NDIA are GST exempt as described in s38-38 of the GST Act. For the small number of items where GST is applicable, (e.g., delivery fees and taxi fares) the price is inclusive of GST. For the supply of the support to be GST-free, it must be made under a written agreement between the provider or supplier, and the participant. Further information can be obtained from the ATO website. Very Remote Release Date: 01/08/15 Page 6

7 Remote and very remote loading For supports provided to participants in remote and very remote regions of Australia, the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority loading (which was increased in by 1% to16% in remote areas and 22% in very remote areas) is applied to the unit price of the support. Provider travel for personal care and community access Workers Travel for personal care and community access A worker s travel time from home to work (or first participant) and from work to home cannot be deducted from a participant s budget. For workers travelling between participants, a provider may deduct up to a maximum of 20 minutes from the hours of service for each participant. If 4 or more hours is delivered to one client, no worker travel time is to be deducted. Accompanying Participants for Community Access When workers accompany participants on community outings no travel time is to be deducted from the participant s budget. If providers incur a cost for transporting participants in the community, they may negotiate a reasonable contribution from the participant. The participant may be allocated transport funds within their package to assist with such contributions. The cost of public transport when training a participant in the use of public transport can be deducted from the budget of the participant when a cost is incurred (taking account of arrangements for companion cards). There is no change to the requirements for providers charging for travel when delivering therapeutic supports: travel of less than 10 km cannot be claimed; and travel costs over $1000 cannot be claimed in any one year. Remote travel Services delivered by a provider located in a remote or very remote region attract the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (IHPA) loading 16% for remote and 22% for very remote in 2015/16. Very Remote Release Date: 01/08/15 Page 7

8 If local providers are not available, the Agency will enter into agreements with specific providers for provision of services including more remote regions. The contract with a service provider will allocate the cost of travel and associated expenses among the participants and other clients of the provider who receive services under the contract/ arrangement in these areas. Cancellations and no shows of scheduled supports Providers need to have business arrangements in place to minimise the risk of cancellation, no show or late changes to the delivery of a scheduled support. Service agreements between participants and providers need to include details of these arrangements including: rescheduling the appointment; advice periods for cancellations; and changes to agreed appointments. If there are unforeseen circumstances and the participant agrees that they did not comply with the agreed requirements, a fee may be charged against a participant s plan up to 8 times per year for personal care and community access supports. However, the provider should notify the Agency that the participant is at risk of not receiving the budgeted supports as a plan review might be indicated. Where a participant fails, without notice, to keep the scheduled arrangement for the support, the provider must make every effort to contact the participant to determine if there is an additional problem (e.g. the person has fallen out of bed and cannot raise an alarm, or there is a sudden break down in the informal supports and additional support is likely to be required). Where there is a specific risk that a participant will frequently not show for a support due to the nature of a person s disability or the nature of the support, for example behaviour intervention supports, the provider will put in place suitable individual arrangements to maximise the likelihood that the person will receive all their required supports. No fee is payable by the NDIA or the participant, for cancellation by a provider or due to the provider s failure to deliver the agreed supports. No fee is payable by NDIA for a therapeutic support that is not delivered. When an NDIS participant dies, they cease to be a participant of the Scheme and no further NDIA funded supports can be delivered. The NDIS legislation does not allow for post-bereavement supports intended for the participant s family to be funded. However there may be some circumstances where support for a family is required that cannot be adequately delivered from mainstream services. The provider should contact the Agency to discuss their concerns. NDIA does not permit collection of deposits, or money as a bond from participants that a provider would retain in the event of cancellation of a support. Very Remote Release Date: 01/08/15 Page 8
