Important Fee Update – Effective 1 July 2026
As part of the annual government funding updates that took effect on 1 July, there have been changes to some NDIS/ECI pricing and Medicare rebate 2026 amounts.
For clients of The Neurodiverse Network - there is nothing you need to do, and there are no changes to your appointment fees.
These updates simply ensure our invoicing and billing processes remain aligned with the latest government pricing and rebate schedules.
What has changed?
NDIS & Early Childhood Intervention (ECI)
The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits were updated on 1 July 2026.
To remain compliant with the latest pricing arrangements, we have updated our invoicing and billing processes to align with the new NDIS fee schedule.
These updates do not change your appointment fees or require any action from you.
They simply ensure your invoices are itemised in accordance with the current NDIS pricing requirements.
If you would like a more detailed breakdown of how these changes apply to your individual services or funding, our friendly reception team would be happy to assist.
