Pick from therapy, behaviour support, support coordination and daily living items.
Some Social, Economic and Community Participation and Improved Daily Living Skills budgets change as plans are created or reassessed from 1 October 2026, or renewed from 1 February 2027. Effects vary by participant, and some supports are excluded. Use the budget in your current plan and check available funding before agreeing supports. Read the NDIA update and excluded supports. Checked 4 October 2026.
These tools estimate costs and planning timelines. They do not decide eligibility, calculate a revised NDIS budget or check released funding. Plan dates and funding periods are different: use your own plan dates and check how much is available in the current funding period. Understand funding periods.

These are GST-inclusive maximums for selected hourly supports. They apply to agency-managed and plan-managed funding. Providers may charge less; self-managed participants can negotiate rates. We'll confirm Unify's rates in your service agreement. A listed item does not establish eligibility or available funding.
Choose the zone where the support is delivered. Modified Monash areas MM 1–5 generally use national limits, MM 6 remote and MM 7 very remote. The NDIA also reclassifies some isolated towns. Check Part 3 of the official pricing schedule before choosing a zone; a postcode alone may not establish the correct rate.
Yes, if you add them. Open Add indirect activities to include report writing and other non-face-to-face time, NDIA-requested reports, provider travel and short notice cancellations. Therapy and behaviour support use their own catalogue lines (travel has a lower price limit); other supports claim these against the same item where the catalogue allows. Cancellations replace scheduled sessions in this estimate, and travel is counted for attended sessions only. Conditions and travel caps apply; confirm actual claims and agree charges in your service agreement.
Select the item that matches the delivery time and intensity. Shared supports need an agreed allocation across participants; multiple workers need their own agreed hours and item conditions. This calculator does not determine staffing ratios or eligibility. Sleepovers, daily accommodation packages and other non-hourly supports are outside its selected hourly catalogue.
We checked all 100 selected hourly supports against catalogue 2026–27 v1.1 and the pricing schedule effective 24 September 2026. Catalogue item start dates are 1 July 2026. This tool does not include every NDIS item, such as daily or per-item supports. Check the official documents for changes and claiming conditions before quoting.
