Frequently asked questions
Can I use unregistered providers in regional Queensland?
If you're plan-managed, you can use registered or unregistered providers where the support allows it. NDIS price limits still apply. From July 2027, the NDIA says it will expand mandatory registration for some providers, including those who deliver personal care and daily living supports.
Are NDIS prices different in remote areas?
Yes. The NDIS pricing schedule sets national, remote and very remote maximum prices for supports. The current schedule took effect on 24 September 2026.
Does it cost me anything to use a plan manager?
Plan management is funded by the NDIS in your capacity building supports budget, at no cost to you. Plan-managed participants can use registered or unregistered providers for most supports, unlike agency management.
Who helps me find local providers?
That's the role of a support coordinator, if you have one funded in your plan. We work alongside your support coordinator and handle the invoices, payments and budget tracking.
