NDIS providers implementing behaviour support plans with regulated restrictive practices are required to report monthly.

Reports must be submitted via the Behaviour Support portal by the 5th business day of each month, even where no restrictive practices were used.

Reporting shows the NDIS Commission how and when restrictive practices are used so we can identify risks, follow up where needed, and reduce unnecessary reliance on these practices over time.

In my work over the years in the NDIS, I’ve come across this more times than I should have.

Some support worker email names are honestly ridiculous.

If the part before the “@” looks like:

partyqueen420

For NDIS support workers, independent contractors, and sole traders, your email is often the first thing seen by plan managers, support coordinators, and participants. It shows up on referrals, invoices, and service agreements.

And the thing is, it’s free to set up a professional email address.

This isn’t about being fancy.
It’s about being Professional

Provider Travel – Non-Labour Costs (Explained)

When a provider travels to deliver face-to-face supports, there may be non-labour travel costs involved in addition to the worker’s time.

Under the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, providers may negotiate with participants for a reasonable contribution toward these costs where applicable.

The NDIA considers the following to be reasonable:

For a vehicle owned by the provider or worker: up to $0.99 per kilometre

For other travel-related costs (such as road tolls, parking fees, or public transport fares): up to the full amount incurred

The per-kilometre rate is intended to cover the running costs of the vehicle, including fuel, registration, and general vehicle expenses.
Because of this, fuel costs cannot be charged separately in addition to the per-kilometre rate.

Charging both a per-kilometre rate and an additional fuel cost is not permitted, as this would result in double dipping.

Non-labour travel costs can only be claimed where the rules allow a claim for provider travel time for that support.

These costs must be:

Claimed separately from the primary support
Claimed separately from provider travel time
Claimed against the correct “Provider Travel – non-labour costs” support item listed in the NDIS Price Guide

Any travel related costs must be agreed in writing with a service agreement!!

This video explains NDIS non-labour travel costs and how they are applied under the NDIS Price Guide.

I outline:

What non-labour travel costs are
When support workers and providers can charge travel
The current $1 per kilometre rule
What this rate is designed to cover

Other travel-related costs that may be claimable in specific situations

This information is intended to help NDIS participants, families, carers, and providers better understand how travel costs work, so they can confidently interpret invoices and understand their supports.

The is based on the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits and is provided for general education and awareness.

I have seen a lot of people don’t use their NDIS plan because they’re scared of stuffing it up.

You get the plan.
You’re told it’s flexible.
Then suddenly you’re meant to know what you can and can’t spend it on.

No one explains it properly.

So you hold off.
You second-guess everything.
You worry about getting pulled up later or doing the wrong thing.

That’s not laziness.
That’s anxiety.

If your NDIS plan feels confusing or risky to touch, you’re not failing.

The system just isn’t as clear as it pretends to be.

You ask for support…

When you need support, that rush doesn’t feel supportive it feels overwhelming!!

I know the hardest part of the NDIS isn’t always the funding or the rules.
It’s what it does to you over time.

Having to explain yourself again.
Waiting for answers that take months.
Feeling the pressure to prove your needs are “enough.”

Most people don’t talk about what that does on the inside.
The tension before every phone call.
The frustration that sits in your chest.
The way your confidence slowly gets chipped away when you’re not really heard.

You can do everything right and still feel dismissed.
Still feel small.
Still feel like you’re pushing uphill just to be taken seriously.

When systems fail, it’s easy to turn that inward.
To blame yourself.
To stay quiet so you don’t seem difficult.
To carry stress alone because you’re tired of fighting.

That weight builds.
And it’s not because you’re weak.
It’s because this is heavy.

What’s missing isn’t more paperwork.
It’s space.
Space to be heard properly.
Space to process what this system has put you through.
Space to feel like a person again, not a problem to be managed.

If you feel this, you’re not imagining it.
And you don’t have to keep carrying it all by yourself.
