How to Invoice the NDIS for Daily Activities

What "daily activities" means in the NDIS

"Daily activities" is how most providers describe the NDIS core support category called Assistance with Daily Life. It covers the everyday, hands-on supports participants need to live independently.

That includes supports like:

• Assistance with self-care activities - showering, dressing, eating and personal care.
• Assistance with daily activities (not self-care) - support with household and daily-living tasks.
• Personal domestic assistance - cleaning, laundry and meal preparation.
• Community access and social participation supports.

Providers delivering these supports - most often support workers, personal-care workers and sole traders - bill the NDIS by the hour, using a specific line item for each type of support. That's where invoicing gets fiddly: every line item has its own number, and every rate changes with the day, time and location.

The line items behind daily activities

Each NDIS support has a line-item number. The most commonly billed daily-activities line items are:

• 01_011_0107_1_1 - Assistance with Self-Care Activities - Standard - Weekday Daytime
• 01_002_0107_1_1 - Assistance with Self-Care Activities - Standard - Weekday Night
• 01_013_0107_1_1 - Assistance with Self-Care Activities - Standard - Saturday
• 01_014_0107_1_1 - Assistance with Self-Care Activities - Standard - Sunday
• 01_015_0107_1_1 - Assistance with Self-Care Activities - Standard - Weekday Evening
• 01_004_0107_1_1 - Assistance with Personal Domestic Activities
• 01_020_0120_1_1 - House Cleaning and Other Household Activities
• 01_799_0107_1_1 - Provider Travel (non-labour costs)

Providers also regularly bill 04_104_0125_6_1 (Access Community, Social and Recreational Activities) and 04_590_0125_6_1 (Activity Based Transport) alongside their daily-activities supports.

Every one of these has different rates for weekday, weekend, evening, public-holiday and remote or very remote locations. Billing by hand means checking the current NDIS pricing guide every single time.

That's the problem Billability solves: the entire NDIS pricing guide is built in, and the correct, current rate is applied automatically when you pick your support item.

A simple workflow for daily-activities invoicing

1. Create the invoice and choose your participant.
2. Pick the support item - for example, Assistance with Self-Care Activities.
3. Billability applies the correct rate and fills in the detail.
4. Email it to the participant or plan manager as a compliant tax invoice.
5. Track it as paid or partially paid, and follow up when needed.

Most providers do this in under a minute - less time on admin at the end of a support shift, and fewer invoices sent back for corrections.

Questions daily-activities providers ask

• Does the software have the current NDIS pricing guide? Yes - and it's updated when NDIS changes its rates.
• Can I email invoices to plan managers? Yes, straight from the invoice.
• Can I import my existing participants? Yes, via CSV.
• Does it work for aged care too? Yes, Billability also supports aged-care invoicing.
• Can I add my logo? Yes, on invoices and service agreements.

Get daily-activities invoicing right, every time

Daily-activities providers don't need complicated software - they need invoicing that gets the line item and rate right the first time, so they get paid without the back-and-forth. Billability keeps the NDIS pricing guide current and applies it automatically, so you can focus on your participants instead of the paperwork.
