Each year in June, the NDIS announce changes to their pricing which can be found here.
Due to the NDIS pricing changes and the requirements of the Fair Work Commission, Wallara also adjust pricing.
Below is further detail and explanation of these pricing changes.
Wallara Pricing
Effective from 1st July 2022, Wallara will increase prices in line with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits document. The majority of prices will increase by 6.9%, however other price increases may range between 5% and 9%. Note that the price for Support Coordination will not change..
NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits
Wallara support staff receive wages that are guided by a ‘pay award’ set by the Fair Work Commission and superannuation at a rate set by the Federal Government. In 2022, increases to both the award wage and superannuation rate have been announced:
- On 15th June 2022, the Fair Work Commission announced a 4.6% increase to the wage award Wallara, and the majority of disability providers, are guided by.
- On 1st July 2022, the superannuation rate will increase 0.5% from 10% to 10.5%. This is part of the Federal Government’s staged increase to the Superannuation Guarantee.
The NDIS have increased their prices to reflect the above changes. They have also increased prices in recognition of the ongoing costs NDIS Providers incur for quality and safeguarding, and the impacts of COVID.
The Wallara pricing increases will cover some of the increases in costs noted above.
Client NDIS Plan Budgets
The NDIA have confirmed that the remaining funds in existing NDIS plans budgets will be automatically increased from 1st July 2022 to cover increases to price limits.
What do you need to do?
Nothing. There is no action required by you, the new prices will automatically apply to your invoices effective from 1st July 2022.
