Invoicing Tips

  • Use the exact support item reference number from the 2025-26 NDIS Pricing Arrangements — wrong codes get rejected
  • Match the hourly rate to the participant's plan management type and state — rates differ
  • Most NDIS supports are GST-free under GST-free Supply Determination — do not charge GST unless your service is explicitly taxable
  • For plan-managed participants, send the invoice to the plan manager (not the participant)
  • Include enough detail in service notes for an NDIS audit — date, time, support item, what was provided

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Charging GST on GST-free NDIS supports — invoices will be rejected
  • Using outdated price guide rates (each financial year publishes new prices)
  • Wrong support item code for the activity provided
  • Missing or incorrect NDIS participant number
  • Bundling multiple supports under one line item instead of itemising each support item
  • Sending invoices to the participant when the plan is plan-managed or NDIA-managed

Frequently Asked Questions

What must be on an NDIS invoice?

NDIS-compliant invoices include: provider name + ABN, participant name + NDIS number, service date and time, support item reference number, hourly rate matching the current price guide, total amount, GST treatment, and invoice number/date. Plan-managed invoices also need the plan manager's details.

Do I charge GST on NDIS services?

Most NDIS supports are GST-free under the GST-free Supply Determination. Specific exceptions exist (e.g. some equipment and home modifications). Always confirm with the NDIS Price Guide and your accountant.

What's the difference between plan-managed, NDIA-managed and self-managed?

NDIA-managed: NDIS pays you directly via the portal. Plan-managed: a plan manager processes invoices on the participant's behalf. Self-managed: the participant pays you directly. Each has different invoice destinations and timelines.

Do I need to be NDIS-registered to invoice?

No — only NDIA-managed participants must use registered providers. Plan-managed and self-managed participants can use unregistered providers, but you still need to meet NDIS pricing and invoice requirements.

What about cancellations?

You can charge for short-notice cancellations under the NDIS Pricing Arrangements if specific conditions are met (clear cancellation policy, attempt to fill the slot). Mark the line clearly as "cancellation" and follow the current cancellation rules.
