FAQ

NDIS dietitian line item questions.

What is the NDIS dietitian line item?

The core dietitian support item is 01_760_0128_3_3, "Therapy - Dietitian - Direct Service", registration group 0128 (Dietitian), claimed per hour. For 2026-27 the national price limit is $178.99 per hour, with separately numbered items for telehealth, non-face-to-face work, NDIA-requested reports and provider travel (travel at half rate). Always confirm the current figures in the NDIS Pricing Schedule before claiming.

How much can a dietitian charge under NDIS?

The NDIS sets a maximum price limit per hour for dietitian supports, and you cannot charge a registered-provider participant more than that limit. The exact figure is published in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, which is updated by the NDIA each year (usually from 1 July). Treat any dollar value in this tool as indicative and verify the current price limit at ndis.gov.au.

Do remote loadings apply to NDIS dietitian supports?

Yes. Supports delivered in a Remote (MMM 6) area attract a loading of 40 percent, and supports in a Very Remote (MMM 7) area attract a loading of 50 percent, applied on top of the national price limit. Use the region selector above to see the loaded price limit, and confirm the current loadings in the NDIS price guide.

Which NDIS support category funds a dietitian?

Dietitian supports are funded from Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living, which is support category 15. The dietitian sits in registration group 0128. The participant needs Improved Daily Living funding in their plan for these supports to be claimable.

Can a dietitian claim travel and report writing under NDIS?

Provider travel and non-face-to-face work such as report writing can be claimable, generally at the same hourly price limit, but only within the rules and caps set in the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits and where agreed with the participant. The travel and non-face-to-face items in this tool are unverified starting points, so confirm the current item numbers and rules in the NDIS price guide.

Are these NDIS price limits current?

Treat every dollar value here as indicative. NDIS price limits are updated by the NDIA each year, normally from 1 July, and support item numbers can change. This tool shows the date its figures are stated from, and you should always verify the current support item number and price limit in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits at ndis.gov.au before claiming.

Every answer is general information only. Verify support item numbers and price limits in the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits before claiming.
