Clear pricing
NDIS yard maintenance pricing
We follow the NDIS price guide for yard maintenance.
Funding depends on the participant's plan, disability support needs and how the plan is managed. NDIA-managed supports generally require a registered provider. We confirm the relevant provider and invoicing requirements before service.
