How much do NDIS support workers make?

The full answer

NDIS support worker pay is governed by the SCHADS Award. The 2026 casual base rates: Level 1 $34.10/hr, Level 2 $35.40/hr, plus penalty rates for evenings (15%), Saturdays (50%), Sundays (100%) and public holidays (150%). Allied health professionals fall under their own awards or are typically employed at $90-$150/hr+ based on discipline. Sole-trader support workers can charge participants up to the NDIS Price Guide cap (~$70/hr personal care) but their take-home depends on their cost base.
