📢 Attention providers! Starting 1 October 2024, there’s an important update regarding the pricing for Intensive and Complex Behaviour Supports. This change allows you to claim these supports at the same price limit as High-Intensity Supports, addressing previous concerns linked to the removal of “challenging behaviours” from the High-Intensity Support definition.

Providers offering the following supports can now access the higher price limit:
• Assistance with Daily Life Tasks in a Group or Shared Living Arrangement
• Daily Personal Activities
• Participation in Community, Social and Civic Activities
• Group and Centre Based Activities
Requirements for Claiming the Higher Price Limit
To take advantage of this new pricing structure, there are specific requirements you must meet:
1. Alignment with Participant Plans: Ensure that the behaviour support you provide is consistent with each participant’s plan.
2. Registration and Assessment: You must be registered and assessed for Module 2A by 30 June 2025.
3. Application for Registration: If you’re new or need to amend your registration, make sure to complete the Module 2A audit and submit your application by 30 June 2025.
