Cuts to NDIS Support Coordination and Plan Management

Cuts to NDIS Support Coordination and Plan Management – What It Means for You

From July 1, 2025, the NDIS Pricing Arrangements have changed. For people living in remote Queensland, these changes are more than just numbers on a page — they impact the services people rely on every day.

What’s Changed:

  • Support Coordination (07_002_0106_8_3, 07_004_0132_8_3): Rates not increased, therefore reduced by inflation

  • Plan Management (14_034_0127_8_3): Removal of remote loading and set-up costs

The Local Reality:

Plan utilisation in our region is already below the state average of 75%:

  • Longreach: 55% across 86 plans

  • Barcaldine and Blackall: 61% across 76 plans

  • Barcoo, Boulia, Diamantina, and Winton: 62% across 34 plans

Lower prices mean less incentive for providers to remain in remote areas, at a time when many people still aren’t using the support they’re entitled to.

The Impact on People with Disability:

  • Harder to get help with navigating the system

  • Increased isolation and confusion

  • Missed opportunities for early intervention, therapy, or supports

The Impact on Providers:

  • Services may be withdrawn

  • Support coordination offerings reduced or removed

  • Increased staff turnover or provider exits
