Table 1.2
Establishment fee for personal care/community access
This fee applies to all new NDIS participants in their first plan where they receive at least 20 hours of personal care/community access support per month. This payment is to cover non-ongoing costs for providers establishing arrangements and assisting participants in implementing their plan. The establishment fee is claimable by the provider who assists the participant with the implementation of their NDIS Plan, delivers a minimum of 20 hours per month of personal care/community access support and has made an agreement with the participant to supply these services.
The establishment fee will operate as follows:
· Providers can charge $500 against a plan if assisting a new participant, who is new to NDIS and new to the provider.
· A provider can charge $250 when they are maintaining an existing client of theirs who is commencing as a participant of the NDIS.
· Should a participant wish to change providers on commencing their first NDIS plan, $250 is available to the new provider. This is to assist the participant in changing providers.
· A budget of $750 is included in the first plan for NDIS participants, in case they need this type of assistance from providers to design and implement support arrangements.
