What does this support actually cover?

Nurse practitioner items cover eligible disability-related clinical care delivered by a nurse with formal nurse practitioner endorsement and advanced practice capability.

Start with the activity or professional service the participant received, not the funding amount remaining in the plan. For each invoice, identify the specific aim of the support, where it took place, what the worker actually did and the appropriate item family. The schedule sets the maximum prices; it does not give blanket approval for every participant to purchase every listed service.

When can this item be used—and when can't it?

Situations it is intended for

Use the specific nurse practitioner item where the service falls within the NDIS rather than Medicare or another mainstream system and requires an endorsed practitioner's clinical scope.

Situations that require a different approach

Do not claim this item for work delivered by an RN or CNC who lacks nurse practitioner endorsement. Avoid claiming the same service across NDIS and Medicare or another payer.

Who is allowed to deliver this support?

The clinician must be a nurse practitioner endorsed by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia and practise within their lawful endorsed scope under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law.

Worker qualifications, NDIS provider registration and permission to claim a particular item are related but different questions. Where a professional registration or a defined higher-intensity standard applies, verify the actual person delivering the work meets it. Employer classifications used to build a price limit do not replace professional practice rules.

Travel, time-of-day, cancellation and extra costs

Nursing time-of-day definitions

The September 2026 schedule defines nursing weekday daytime as support beginning at or after 6 am and finishing no later than 6 pm on one weekday. Nursing evening covers support beginning at or after noon and finishing after 6 pm that day. Nursing night includes qualifying shifts commencing at or after 6 pm and finishing before 7:30 am the following day. Check the full definitions and public holiday priority before selecting a code.

This table does not establish the right to add a therapy-style half-rate provider-travel code. Travel and non-labour costs must be separately checked against the applicable support catalogue and up-to-date claiming rules. Do not copy a transport code from another profession onto a nursing invoice.

Cancellation charges are not automatic. Check the service agreement and the currently applicable cancellation rules before claiming a cancelled session. Similarly, an extra charge cannot be inferred merely from a blank or differently worded line elsewhere in the schedule.

National rates generally apply in MM 1–5 locations; remote in MM 6; very remote in MM 7, taking account of the isolated-town modifications listed in Part 3. The service's physical location determines the applicable column. Some items may have no geographic loading.

A real-world example

An endorsed practitioner reviews a complex disability-related nursing problem, uses advanced clinical decision-making within scope and documents how the intervention relates to the participant's funded supports.

Price calculation example: the national maximum for Delivery of Health Supports by a Nurse Practitioner - Weekday Daytime is $183.15 per hour. For a genuinely delivered 90-minute service, the pro-rata mathematical maximum is $274.73 before any other claim limits or separate eligible charges are considered. That is an illustration of the unit calculation, not a recommendation to book or claim a particular duration.

What documentation should be available?

Check endorsement, scope, clinical notes, payer responsibility, time band and consent.
