Important Note: Existing participant plan funds won’t adjust for the July 1 changes. Our data indicates that most participants will continue to access their supports without fund impacts. We closely monitor plan utilization to ensure uninterrupted support for participants nearing their plan end date.
Participants concerned about pricing changes affecting their plan funds can request a plan review by contacting the National Contact Centre.
The NDIA plays a pivotal role in setting price limits, fostering market growth, and ensuring high-quality support delivery. These pricing arrangements prioritize reasonable value for participants’ plan funds, fostering innovation and quality.
