Getting started

Finding providers
You can use our provider finder to look for the providers who deliver the NDIS supports you need.
The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits explains our pricing rules and how much providers can charge for services and NDIS supports.
It’s a good idea to make service agreements with your providers so you can both be clear about how you’ve agreed to work together, and what to expect. You can look at the checklist and tip sheets on our website to help you prepare service agreements.
You can learn more about working with providers.
Managing your total budget
Our budget calculator can help you understand how much funding component amounts you have available and how long you have left in your plan. You can also use the support organiser tool to work out how you might like to manage your NDIS supports. These tools may help you work out how much and what kind of NDIS support you can buy for the length of your NDIS plan and to manage your total budget amount.
