NDIS Pricing
-
The price that Aberstone charges for service delivery is that which is mandated by the NDIS.
-
Aberstone implements new pricing for services when the new NDIS Price Guides are released.
-
Aberstone charges TTP prices (Temporary Transformation Payment). The TTP is a charge on top of the base rate price limit for attendant care and community and centre-based activities. The Temporary Transformation Payment (TTP) is an additional cost that providers can charge as they continue to transition to working under the NDIS.
