An important reminder to all Service Providers who offer group-based supports about an update to the pricing arrangements as of January 1st, 2024. The update is only for providers who deliver group-based social and community participation supports as core supports.
What’s changed
In the past, group-based supports/services could be billed as ratio pricing or divided pricing. As of January 1, 2024, all group-based billing must be divided pricing and provided with three separate line items (direct support, non-face-to-face, and centre capital costs).
Changes to your line items
The updated list of line items for direct supports are below (you can only use these codes), for a full list of all line items (including non-face-to-face, and centre capital costs), please refer to the most recent NDIS Price Guide.

What you need to do
Step 1: Check the date you provided your group-based support (on your invoice).
- Invoices/services dated before 31/12/2023: Group-based supports/services provided before 31st December 2023 can still be billed as ratio pricing or divided pricing.
- Invoices/services dated after 31/12/2023: As of January 1, 2024, all group-based billing must be divided pricing and provided with three separate line items (direct support, non-face-to-face, and centre capital costs).
Step 2: Submit your invoices with the applicable codes, including the updated line-item numbers to suit the updated group-based supports pricing arrangements in the price guide.
Step 3: Remember that if you’re claiming non face to face and/or centre capital costs, they must be included separately!
