NDIS Support Coordination and Plan Management Pricing for 2026-27
TL;DR: The 2026-27 Annual Pricing Review recommends maintaining the current maximum prices for all three levels of Support Coordination — $80.06 (Level 1), $100.14 (Level 2) and $190.54 (Level 3) — and aligning Psychosocial Recovery Coach prices with the Disability Support Worker Cost Model indexation. For Plan Management, the recommended monthly fee is $104.45 per month, with a broader review of the Plan Management pricing approach also recommended. See our complete guide to the 2026-27 pricing arrangements.
Support Coordination and Plan Management are two of the most widely used NDIS supports. In the six months to December 2025, Support Coordination was accessed by more than 291,800 participants (around 38% of active participants), and approximately 65% of all active participants used plan managers to process NDIS payments. The 2026-27 Annual Pricing Review (APR) makes targeted recommendations for both.
What are the 2026-27 Support Coordination prices?
The APR's analysis indicates that, while the Support Coordination market continues to evolve, the current maximum price remains appropriate. It therefore recommends maintaining the maximum prices for Support Coordination:
- Level 1: Support Connection — $80.06
- Level 2: Coordination of Supports — $100.14
- Level 3: Specialist Support Coordination — $190.54
The APR notes the Support Coordination market continues to grow through small-scale entrants rather than the expansion of existing providers. It describes Support Coordination as a market generated by the NDIS, where demand and supply are shaped primarily by plan design, eligibility settings and prices rather than external market benchmarks.
How are Psychosocial Recovery Coach prices changing?
The APR recommends that prices for Psychosocial Recovery Coach supports should be determined using the Disability Support Worker (DSW) Cost Model, and that the price should be indexed in line with that model. In practice, this means Recovery Coach pricing will align with the DSW Cost Model indexation recommended elsewhere in the APR.
What is the new Plan Management fee for 2026-27?
For Plan Management, the APR recommends a monthly fee of $104.45 per month.
Consultation feedback indicated that Plan Management costs are driven primarily by transaction volumes and system-related administrative requirements, rather than labour cost movements. The APR notes that in the six months to December 2025, plan managers processed $13.4 billion in participant payments, including $292 million in monthly fees, and that the provider base remains stable and concentrated.
Why is Plan Management pricing being reviewed?
Because Plan Management costs reflect administrative and transactional activity rather than direct labour, the APR recommends the NDIS undertake a review of the Plan Management pricing approach. The goal of this review is to ensure price guidance and recommendations align with the administrative and transactional nature of the support and reflect how Plan Management is actually delivered in practice.
What should participants do?
If you use a support coordinator or plan manager, your service agreement may be updated to reflect the 2026-27 recommended prices. The maximum prices for Support Coordination are unchanged, while the Plan Management monthly fee is set at $104.45. As with all NDIS pricing changes, providers must discuss any proposed changes to existing service agreements with participants, and participants must agree before changes are made.
