2023/24 NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits update - new Provider Travel Non-Labour Cost Support Items added and expected release date (published on the 29th of Nov, 2023)
Our analysis of the updates to the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2023-24 in version 1.2 (Released 28th of November, 2023), has been completed, and we can confirm the changes are limited to:
- the addition of 7 new Provider Travel Non-Labour Cost Support Items, and
- the removal of 16 Legacy Support Items
The NDIA has also updated the Support Catalogue to include details of the PACE Support Category the relevant Support Items are now included in. We are updating our internal processes to utilise this data for this purpose, as we had engineered a manual solution to determine this previously.
The new Provider Travel Non-Labour Cost Support Items are as follows:
- 01_799_0102_1_1, Provider travel - non-labour costs
- 01_799_0110_1_1, Provider travel - non-labour costs

- 01_799_0134_1_1, Provider travel - non-labour costs
- 01_799_0135_1_1, Provider travel - non-labour costs
It is important to note that the removed Support Items can continue to be added to Funding records, and they can also be allocated.
However, these Support Items have 'Valid To' dates displayed, given they were previously Legacy Support Items, e.g. 10_801_0133_5_1_D Supports in Employment - Weekday Daytime, Legacy support. End date 30/09/2023. These Supports will be removed upon release of a new Price Guide.
Expected release date
We expect to include these updates in the upgrade to SupportAbility v8.3 on Wednesday evening, the 6th of December, 2023.
Version 1.2 of the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2023-24 is valid from the 1st of July 2023, so the above changes will be applied to the current Price Guide in SupportAbility, e.g. Price Guide: QLD 2023/24 - July 1st.
