What nursing costs, and who can use us
Straight answers on NDIS nursing rates, what your plan covers, and what “unregistered provider” means for you.
Our rates
We charge in line with the NDIS price limits, for everyone we support through the NDIS. Before anything starts, we confirm the exact rate for your supports in your service agreement, so there are no surprises.

Does the NDIS pay for a nurse?
It can, when the nursing is related to your disability. The NDIS calls these disability-related health supports. They include:
- Continence support
- Wound and pressure care
- Nutrition, including PEG feeding
- Dysphagia (swallowing) support
- Diabetes management
- Respiratory care
- Seizure monitoring and management
- Training for the people who support you
Care for health conditions that aren’t related to your disability, hospital care and medicines are usually covered by the health system instead.
Registered or unregistered: what it means for you
Nurse By Choice is an unregistered NDIS provider.
- If you self-manage your plan, you can use us.
- If a plan manager manages your plan, you can use us. We send invoices to your plan manager.
- If the NDIA manages your plan, we can’t bill it. You can ask the NDIA, or your support coordinator, about changing to plan management.
Unregistered doesn’t mean unregulated. We follow the NDIS Code of Conduct, our nurses hold current AHPRA registration, and we keep full clinical records.
