In the NDIS Pricing Arrangements (formerly the NDIS Price List or Support Catalogue), the Temporary Transformation Payment (TTP) is an additional loading available to support providers, primarily for personal care and community access services. It assists NDIS providers with the costs involved in transitioning to the NDIS and replaces the Temporary Support for Overheads (TPO) Payment.
How Does the NDIS TTP Work?
The TTP includes a price loading that reduces by 1.5% each year. In the NDIS support catalogue, each relevant support item has a matching TTP item listed with a higher price limit to account for this transitional cost. Here’s how it works:
- Non-TTP items: These should be used by providers who are not TTP-compliant.
- TTP items: These should be used by providers who are compliant with the TTP requirements.
Requirements to be a TTP-Eligible Provider
To qualify for TTP pricing, providers need to fulfill the following conditions:
- Be a Registered NDIS Provider.
- Publish Service Prices: Providers must make their service prices accessible to the public.
- Update Contact Information: Ensure all contact details are up-to-date in the Provider Finder tool.
- Complete an Annual Benchmarking Survey: Participate in an NDIS Agency-approved benchmarking survey each year to maintain TTP compliance.
Do Providers Need to Register Separately to Access TTP?
There is no specific registration process for TTP. Instead, providers indicate their compliance by claiming TTP item numbers in their invoices. This is done through the NDIS payment system, provided they meet the necessary TTP requirements.
When Was TTP Introduced, and What Are the Deadlines?
The TTP took effect on 1st July 2019. Providers had until 31st December 2019 to demonstrate initial compliance, and since then, they must meet TTP standards at the start of each financial year.
Important: Participant Agreement to TTP Prices
Before providers can claim TTP rates, they must ensure that the participant agrees to pay the TTP-adjusted prices. This discussion and agreement should be documented in the participant’s service agreement.
