Summary

Delving into the pricing of individualised funding models through the NDIS, this article provides evidence of the way in which underpricing contributes to underpaid care workers, limited caring time with clients and the quality of care provided. The NDIS utilised pricing as a mechanism to manage the market model of care in the disability sector, yet with prices set too low, care is left undervalued.
