What does this support actually cover?

The accommodation items cover the standard accommodation component of an eligible short-term accommodation stay, with separate line items for the participant and a support worker's accommodation. The schedule describes stays of up to 14 days and standard lodging with no extra inclusions.

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 appropriate day-based accommodation code where participant or staff lodging is genuinely required as part of a qualifying short-term accommodation arrangement and the plan supports it.

Situations that require a different approach

The two accommodation lines are not a blanket entitlement to pay hotel holidays, leisure activities, unrelated family accommodation or meals. Accommodation does not replace the hourly labour codes for workers' active care.

Who is allowed to deliver this support?

The provider must arrange and document appropriate accommodation and separate it from the personal support component. Worker skills and safety requirements apply to support delivered during the stay.

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.

All 2 support codes and 2026–27 maximum prices

The tables below reproduce the codes, billing units and national, remote and very remote maximum amounts for this pricing-table group from the supplied official schedule. Individual support item names distinguish service setting, worker level, activity and/or time of delivery. On narrow screens, each pricing row is displayed as a labelled card.

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

Travel time, vehicle running costs, parking and tolls are separate concepts. Not every item has a matching separate provider-travel code in this schedule. A provider should discuss potentially claimable travel in advance and check the current support catalogue, claim type and relevant NDIA guidance before invoicing it. The September 2026 schedule does not itself specify all non-labour travel codes and conditions.

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

A participant has a qualifying short-term stay with an accompanying support worker. The provider separately records the participant's accommodation day, the worker's accommodation day if applicable, and the support worker hours actually delivered.

Units matter: this particular table uses day, week, month or each billing, rather than an ordinary hourly charge. Use the full unit definition in Part 4 of the schedule.

What documentation should be available?

Confirm overnight dates, the need for the worker's accommodation, the contracted lodging component and that the same cost was not claimed twice.
