How Does the NDIS Set Pricing for Recovery Coaching?
The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits are reviewed and updated annually. Pricing is determined based on industry standards and consultation with providers and participants to ensure affordability and sustainability.
A key factor in the pricing model is that the NDIS includes an estimated 8% provider profit margin. This ensures that providers can cover essential business costs, including:
- Staff wages (including penalty rates for weekends and public holidays)
- Training and compliance costs for both lived-experience and degree-qualified coaches
- Administration costs (including scheduling, reporting, and client communication)
- Insurance and operational costs (such as public liability, professional indemnity, and workers’ compensation)
- Travel expenses for mobile services
Other Cost Considerations
1. Travel Costs
Some services may incur travel charges, especially if sessions are conducted in the community or at a participant’s home. Under NDIS, this is typically covered within the participant’s plan. For private clients, travel costs will be discussed upfront to ensure transparency.
2. Cancellation Fees
The NDIS allows providers to charge 100% of the scheduled fee if a participant cancels a service without adequate notice, which can be up to five days. At Heartfelt Support, we recognize that flexibility is important, so we require only 48 hours’ notice to avoid a cancellation charge.
