The most substantial piece of work NDS is undertaking for the NDIS Annual Price Review is on an analysis of the Disability Support Worker Cost Model (DSWCM). Cost data has been obtained from a number of providers, which will be used to generate indicative prices based on the real costs of delivering attendant care or community participation-type supports.

Tim Flowers, Principal at Insight First, has been contracted by NDS to undertake this work. We anticipate releasing this to members at least a week prior to the close date for submissions.
