About this NDIS support item

The NDIS pricing structure for Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) supports, such as Speech Pathology via Telehealth, is designed to provide flexible and tailored assistance based on individual participant needs. The costs associated with these services depend on the specifics of each participant's NDIS plan and their personal goals.

Examples

For instance, if a participant requires telehealth sessions with a speech pathologist, the pricing will reflect the hourly rate set by the NDIS for this type of support. Participants should consult their NDIS plan to understand how many hours of support are funded and how they can best utilise these services to achieve their developmental goals.
