Adapting to the Future: Essential Insights from the 2025 NDIS Pricing Review

The 2025 NDIS Pricing Review sets a new direction for disability service providers across Australia. Major updates include higher wage rates in response to Fair Work Commission changes, an expanded activity-based costing model that recognises both direct and indirect service time, and revised tiered frameworks for therapies and Supported Independent Living (SIL). Providers now face greater emphasis on evidence-based practices and more robust requirements for service documentation.

The introduction of the Independent Pricing Committee means pricing will now be driven by expert input and industry evidence, providing greater stability but also demanding careful compliance. Providers must update their operational models, leverage automation for efficiency, and keep workforce planning aligned with the new pricing structures.

Bottom line: The 2025 NDIS Pricing Review is reshaping the sector—providers who embrace these changes will be ready to deliver quality services sustainably and competitively.
