Weekly Pricing Structure

Transparent rates with clear breakdown of accommodation and care support

Level 3 - Accommodation + Care Support

Room Type Bathroom Accommodation Care Support* Total Weekly
Private Room Private $535.00 $75.00 $610.00
Private Room Shared $507.50 $75.00 $582.50
Shared Room Private $437.50 $75.00 $512.50
Shared Room Shared $422.50 $75.00 $497.50

Care Support Fee ($75/week) covers:

  • Medication administration (up to 4 rounds daily)
  • Emergency mobility assistance (for residents with mobility limitations)

With INREACH Supports as your NDIS provider:

Medication management is handled on-site through your NDIS plan — reducing your care support fee and maximising your NDIS funding while minimising your direct cost. Because INREACH operates on-site, they can deliver medication rounds up to 4 times daily — something external providers typically can't offer for short-duration visits.

If INREACH manages your medication and you have no mobility limitations, your weekly rate reduces to Level 2 accommodation pricing.

Emergency Mobility Assistance: If emergency mobility assistance is required due to mobility limitations, a reduced Emergency Mobility Assistance Fee ($25–40/week) applies to cover evacuation procedures, staff availability, safety infrastructure, and ongoing preparedness (maintained whether or not emergencies occur).

This preparedness fee cannot be billed to NDIS as it covers standby capability for unscheduled emergency evacuation assistance, not face-to-face scheduled support delivery.

Level 2 - Accommodation Only

Room Type Bathroom Weekly Rate
Private Room Private $535.00
Private Room Shared $507.50
Shared Room Private $437.50
Shared Room Shared $422.50

NDIS Plan Review

We'll review your NDIS plan with you to ensure no service overlap between accommodation and personal care supports—keeping everything clear and compliant.

Help with Costs — Official Resources

Because our weekly rate includes meals and utilities, Services Australia assesses Rent Assistance on the lodging component of what you pay. Most residents receiving the Disability Support Pension may qualify for Rent Assistance — eligibility and payment amounts are determined by Services Australia, not by us.

This information is general in nature and current at the time of our March 2026 review. Your eligibility for government payments is assessed by Services Australia based on your individual circumstances. We're happy to help you prepare for those conversations during your intake assessment.

Fair & Transparent Pricing Policy

Our commitment to fairness and sustainability

Our accommodation rates are reviewed annually and adjusted in line with the Disability Support Pension (DSP) indexation set by the Australian Government. This ensures our pricing remains fair and sustainable while matching residents' payment increases.

This means when your DSP increases, our rates adjust by the same percentage—no more, no less.

How the March 2026 rates were calculated

DSP — March 2023
$1,064.00/fortnight
DSP — March 2026
$1,200.90/fortnight
Increase applied
≈ 4.1%/year
(12.87% over three years)

Our rates were last adjusted in March 2023. For three years we held them steady while costs rose, and the Disability Support Pension increased at each indexation. This review applies that entire three-year DSP movement in a single adjustment — rather than three separate annual increases. The maximum single DSP (including Pension and Energy Supplements), as published by Services Australia, rose from $1,064.00 to $1,200.90 per fortnight over that period — about 4.1% per year, or 12.87% in total. Each accommodation rate was multiplied by exactly this factor and rounded to the nearest $2.50. The care-support fee was held unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Pricing Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about our pricing structure and how it works with your NDIS plan.

These align with the R18 Residential Tenancy Agreement schedule of services, as required under Queensland's Residential Services (Accreditation) Act 2002. This ensures transparency, legal compliance, and clarity about what's included in your tenancy package versus your NDIS plan.

Level 3 adds two additional services:

  • Medication administration (up to 4 times daily)
  • Emergency mobility assistance (for residents with mobility limitations)

All Level 2 services (accommodation, meals, utilities, laundry access) remain included.

Yes. We coordinate with your NDIS plan to avoid duplicate charging:

  • If INREACH Supports manages your medication through your NDIS plan → medication component removed from care support fee
  • If you have mobility limitations requiring emergency evacuation assistance → Emergency Mobility Assistance Fee ($25–40/week) applies

We review your plan at intake to ensure you're only paying for what you need.

NDIS funds scheduled, face-to-face support delivery (personal care, therapy, community access, etc.).

Emergency mobility assistance is different:

  • Unscheduled - we can't predict when emergencies requiring evacuation will occur
  • Standby preparedness - ongoing cost of maintaining evacuation capability
  • Safety infrastructure - procedures, training, equipment, staff availability
  • Not per-incident billing - you're not charged each time we provide evacuation assistance

This type of preparedness doesn't fit NDIS billable categories, which require scheduled support hours. Instead, it's properly included in your R18 tenancy agreement as a Level 3 service under "meeting a mobility problem of the resident" (Form R18, Item 15).

Emergency mobility assistance means evacuation assistance for residents with mobility limitations during emergencies (fire, natural disaster, medical emergency). This is distinct from routine mobility support (transfers, repositioning) which is personal care provided by INREACH.

It depends on your circumstances:

You need Level 3 if:

  • You require medication administration, OR
  • You have mobility limitations that may require evacuation assistance during emergencies

Level 2 may apply if:

  • INREACH Supports manages your medication through your NDIS plan, AND
  • You can independently evacuate during emergencies

When INREACH handles medication administration, the medication component is removed from your care support fee — maximising your NDIS funding while reducing your direct cost.

We assess this during intake to ensure you're on the appropriate service level for your safety and needs.

If your NDIS plan covers medication administration but you have mobility limitations requiring emergency evacuation assistance, you'd remain on Level 3 with the reduced Emergency Response Preparedness Fee ($25–40/week).

We can't remove the emergency response component as it's essential for your safety. This fee covers the infrastructure, procedures, and staff availability to respond if an emergency occurs.

Emergency mobility assistance means we maintain evacuation assistance capability for residents with mobility limitations:

  • Emergency evacuation procedures and protocols specific to mobility-limited residents
  • Trained staff available to assist with evacuation during emergencies
  • Safety infrastructure (emergency alert systems, evacuation equipment)
  • Ongoing preparedness for evacuation assistance

This capability is maintained continuously, whether or not emergencies occur, to ensure evacuation assistance when needed (fire, natural disaster, etc.).

Note: This is distinct from routine mobility support (transfers, repositioning, walking assistance) which is personal care provided by INREACH and billed to NDIS.

Rates are reviewed annually and adjusted once every 12 months (not at every DSP indexation).

When adjusted, increases align with DSP percentage changes to maintain affordability and predictability.

Current rates are valid until March 2027.
