Funding, planning and price limits
Funding for VICNA’s home care services comes from the participant’s NDIS plan. VICNA will bill the NDIS directly using the agreed service agreement. The costs are capped by the latest NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, which set maximum prices for each support type. These limits are reviewed annually and ensure that participants receive consistent and transparent pricing.
When planning your budget, consider:
- The number of support hours required per week.
- Any additional services that may need separate budgeting.
- Potential changes to your plan that could affect the support category.
VICNA offers a planning tool that helps you estimate costs and match them to your budget. Discuss any adjustments with your plan manager to avoid unexpected expenses.
Steps to request and activate VICNA as your provider
- Check your plan. Verify that your NDIS plan includes a home and community support category and that the hours available match your needs.
