Two hours of support can cost different amounts depending on the service, day, time and location. Start with the help you need, then ask how the provider has priced it.
Our free price and quoting tool can help you explore selected support items and quantities. It produces an estimate, not a funding decision or agreement to provide support.
Put the hours beside the rate
Check the support item, unit and price per unit. If the unit is hours, multiply the hours by the agreed hourly rate. Kilometres and per-item charges need their own quantities.
For example, three hours at an agreed rate of $70 is $210. That is a maths example, not a current NDIS price limit or Vana Care quote.
For regular support, also check the frequency. A fortnightly visit has a different ongoing cost from a weekly visit. Public holidays or time bands can change the estimate.
Ask about additional costs
Worker travel, activity transport and other permitted charges may be separate. Entry fees, groceries and ordinary personal expenses are not automatically paid by a plan because a support worker is present.
Ask the provider to show any extra charges and explain the applicable rules. Read the cancellation terms before booking regular visits.
Check the schedule and your plan
The official NDIS pricing page links the current schedules. As checked in October 2026, it lists a schedule effective 24 September 2026. The public tool identifies its selected matched 2026–27 data and source period; check the current item before relying on an estimate.
A published price limit is a maximum for the arrangements it covers. It is different from a worker’s wage and does not establish that your own plan funds the support.
Choose the right enquiry route
Use the public tool if you’re checking an item or comparing quantities. If you want Vana Care to review a support request, use the full referral and estimate.
Our team will discuss the proposed services, funding and workers available before confirming an agreement. You can call or email first if a question about the costs is holding you up.
