This will mean a change in how you create and claim for these supports. This guide will provide information on the change and show you how to create a support including Non Face to Face activities. # NDIS Information Providers can only claim for a Non Face to Face support if: * It is listed as Non Face to Face in the NDIS Price Guide catalogue. * The activities are part of delivering a specific disability support item to that participant (rather than a general activity such as enrolment, administration, or staff rostering). * The provider explains the value of these activities to the participant. * The service agreement between the participant and provider specifies that Non-Face-to-Face supports can be claimed. For example, the Assistance with Self Care support items are described as covering activities “Assisting with, and/or supervising, personal tasks of daily life to develop skills of the participant to live as autonomously as possible”. Therefore, time spent on Non-Face-to-Face activities that assist the participant - for example, writing reports for co-workers and other providers about the client’s progress with skill development - could be claimed against this support item. However, research undertaken by a capacity-building provider specifically linked to the needs of a participant and to the achievement of the participant’s goals may be billable as a Non-Face-to-Face support with the participant’s prior agreement. Charging a fee that is not linked to completed activities is not permitted. When a support is not provided directly (Non Face to Face), then the price limit that applies to the support is the price limit that would apply at the time of actual service delivery. Examples of administrative activities that **should not** be billed as Non-Face-to-Face supports include, but are not limited to: * Pre-engagement visits; * Developing and agreeing Service Agreements; * Entering or amending participant details into system; * Making participant service time changes; * Staff / participant travel monitoring and adjustment; * Ongoing NDIS plan monitoring; * Completing a quoting tool; * Making service bookings; and * Making payment claims. # Creating the Support Create a Support as per normal selecting a NDIS approved Service for Non Face to Face.
