Assessment costs
Our services are charged according to NDIS Pricing Arrangements and the Modified Monash Model (MMM) for remote and very remote areas.
The NDIS uses the Modified Monash Model (MMM) to determine regional, remote and very remote areas using a scale based on population size and locality (see the table below).
| MMM 2019 | Inclusion | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Metropolitan areas: Major cities accounting for 70% of Australia’s population All areas categorised ASGS-RA1. |
||
| 2 | Regional centres: Inner (ASGS-RA 2) and Outer Regional (ASGS-RA 3) areas that are in, or within a 20km drive of a town with over 50,000 residents. For example: Ballarat, Mackay, Toowoomba, Kiama, Albury, Bunbury. |

Additionally, islands that have an MM 5 classification with a population of less than 1,000 without bridges to the mainland will now be classified as MM 6 for example: Bruny Island. | ||
