NDIS Invoicing
Praxi supports invoicing for NDIS-funded services, including plan-managed, self-managed, and NDIA-managed participants. The system aligns with the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.
NDIS Price Guide
Praxi maintains an up-to-date copy of the NDIS Pricing Arrangements. When creating invoices for NDIS participants, the system automatically applies the correct line item rates based on the support category and your provider registration.
Common psychology-related support items include:
| Item Number | Description | Category |
|---|---|---|
| 15_056_0128_1_3 | Assessment, recommendation, therapy, or training (psychologist) | Therapeutic Supports |
| 15_057_0128_1_3 | Assessment, recommendation, therapy, or training (clinical psychologist) | Therapeutic Supports |
| 15_041_0128_1_3 | Group therapy (1:2 ratio) | Therapeutic Supports |
| 15_042_0128_1_3 | Group therapy (1:3 ratio) | Therapeutic Supports |
| 11_022_0110_1_3 | Behaviour support -- behaviour management plan | Capacity Building |
NDIS pricing is updated periodically (typically 1 July each year). Praxi downloads updates automatically so your rates remain current. :::
Plan Management Types
| Type | Invoice Sent To | Payment Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Plan-managed | Plan manager (third party) | 5-10 business days |
| Self-managed | Participant directly | Varies |
| NDIA-managed (agency-managed) | NDIA via the myplace portal | 5-10 business days |
Setting Up the Funding Source
- Open the client record and go to Funding Sources
- Click Add Funding Source > NDIS
- Enter the NDIS participant number
- Select the plan management type
- For plan-managed clients, enter the plan manager's details (name, email, ABN)
- Record the plan start and end dates
- Enter the approved budget for your support category
Location-Based Pricing
NDIS pricing varies by location tier. Praxi applies the correct rate based on your practice location:
| Tier | Example Rate (psychology) |
|---|---|
| Metropolitan | $214.41/hour |
| Regional | $225.13/hour |
| Remote | $321.62/hour |
| Very Remote | $364.50/hour |
Creating NDIS Invoices
- Complete the appointment and mark it as attended
- Create the invoice -- Praxi applies the NDIS line item and rate automatically
- Verify the support item number, rate, and date of service
- Add any travel or report writing time as separate line items if applicable
- Submit the invoice:
- Plan-managed: Email to plan manager via Praxi (resend available if original not received)
- Self-managed: Send to participant
- NDIA-managed (agency-managed): Export as PACE-compliant CSV and upload to the NDIA myplace portal
Include the NDIS participant number, support item number, date of service, and provider ABN on every invoice. Missing details are the most common cause of payment delays. :::
NDIS claims must be submitted within 90 days of the service delivery date. Praxi tracks this deadline and warns you when invoices are approaching the submission window limit. :::
Bulk Invoicing
For practices with multiple NDIS clients:
- Go to Billing > Bulk Operations > NDIS Invoicing
- Select the date range
- Review the list of uninvoiced NDIS appointments
- Verify line items and rates
- Click Generate All to create invoices in batch
- Send invoices to the relevant plan managers or participants
PACE-Compliant Export
For NDIA-managed (agency-managed) participants, Praxi generates PACE (Provider and Consumer Exchange) compliant CSV files for upload to the NDIS myplace portal:
- Go to Billing > NDIS Claims > Export
- Select the date range and optional filters (client, support number)
- Choose PACE Export for the enhanced format
- Praxi validates each record against PACE rules:
- NDIS number format (9 digits, starts with 4)
- Item number format validation
- Pricing cap checks by location tier
- Cancellation reason required for cancellation claim types
- Review any warnings or errors before downloading
- Download the CSV and upload to the NDIS myplace portal
You can also run a dry-run validation to check records for PACE compliance without generating the CSV file.
Service Agreements
Praxi includes NDIS service agreement management with templates and digital signature support:
- Go to Billing > NDIS > Service Agreements
- Create a new agreement for a participant (or use the template at Settings > Templates > NDIS Service Agreement)
- Specify services, pricing, cancellation policy, and terms
- Send the agreement for electronic signature
- Track signing status and agreement history
- Receive alerts when agreements are approaching expiry
Best practice is to have a signed service agreement with each NDIS participant before commencing services. The agreement protects both you and the participant by documenting the services, pricing, and cancellation terms. :::
NDIS Invoice PDFs
Praxi can generate NDIS-specific PDF invoices that include all required fields for plan manager or participant submission. These PDFs include:
- Your practice ABN and NDIS provider registration number
- NDIS participant number
- Support item number and description
- Date of service, duration, and rate
- Line item totals and invoice total
Generate PDFs from the invoice detail view or in bulk from Billing > NDIS Claims > Export > PDF.
NDIS Reporting
View NDIS claim activity at Billing > Claims > NDIS:
- Service delivery summary — hours and sessions delivered per participant
- Budget utilisation — percentage of approved funding used
- Outstanding invoices — unpaid NDIS invoices by plan manager
Who can manage NDIS invoicing
Practitioners (and interns, under supervision) create NDIS invoices and manage NDIS funding sources for their own clients. Practice owners, practice managers, and accountants have practice-wide access to NDIS billing and can view reports across the practice.
