Self-managed
Participants can choose registered or unregistered providers and negotiate the price of suitable NDIS supports.
Pricing & funding
Clear information before support begins.
Rates, travel, transport, cancellations and invoicing should be discussed openly and recorded in the service agreement.
Support as a bridge to a wider life.One-to-one support can create a safe foundation for confidence, community and independence.
Current funding arrangements
Currently supporting self-managed and plan-managed participants.
Motion & Meaning Support currently works with self-managed and plan-managed participants and is exploring the steps required to expand access for NDIA-managed participants in the future.
Plan-managed
Participants can usually use registered or unregistered providers for suitable supports. A registered plan manager processes invoices.
Future NDIA-managed access
Motion & Meaning is currently exploring provider registration and the systems required to support NDIA-managed participants in the future.
Choosing the right funding pathway
Funding arrangements are discussed during the initial enquiry so the participant, family or referrer can confirm whether the proposed support and current management type are suitable. Future NDIA-managed access will be communicated clearly once registration and the required systems are in place.
Pricing approach
Rates are confirmed before support begins.
Motion & Meaning Support is finalising its public rate schedule. The proposed support item, hourly rate, travel, transport, cancellation terms and activity costs will be explained clearly and agreed in writing before any regular service begins.
Support rate
The rate depends on the support being delivered, the day and time, the participant’s funding management and the terms agreed in the service agreement.
Weekends and public holidays
Any different rate for evenings, weekends or public holidays will be discussed before booking. Nothing is assumed or added after the fact.
Travel and transport
Provider travel and participant transport are separate matters. Any time, kilometres, tolls or parking charges will be explained and agreed beforehand.
Cancellations and expenses
Cancellation terms and personal activity expenses—such as entry fees, food or equipment hire—will be set out clearly in the written agreement.
Why is there no hourly figure yet?
Motion & Meaning will publish rates only after the final service items, insurance position, travel terms and written agreements are confirmed. Every enquiry can receive a clear written pricing summary before deciding whether to proceed.
Travel and activity costs
No hidden assumptions.
Travel and transport are different. The service agreement should make both clear.
Provider travel
Time and non-labour travel costs may only be charged where the relevant rules allow and the participant has agreed to them.
Participant transport
When a participant is transported during support, kilometre charges and any tolls or parking are discussed and agreed in advance.
Activity expenses
Entry fees, food, equipment hire or other personal activity costs are generally separate from the support-worker hourly rate.
Cancellations
Cancellation terms depend on the relevant support, applicable NDIS guidance and the signed service agreement. They are explained before support begins.
Invoicing
Simple records and transparent descriptions.
Invoices may include the service date, support item, start and finish times, quantity, hourly rate, approved travel or transport, total amount and payment terms.
- Plan-managed invoices are sent to the nominated plan manager.
- Self-managed invoices are sent to the participant or authorised nominee.
- Questions or rejected claims are addressed promptly.
- Changes are not made without discussion and agreement.
