NDIS Guide to Plan Management
Plan management is when a provider supports you to manage funding in your NDIS plan. These providers are known as plan managers.
Plan management is different from having the NDIA manage funding in your NDIS plan, or you choosing to self-manage your plan. More information on ways to manage your funding.
To help you understand plan management, we have released the NDIS Guide to Plan Management, with an Easy Read translation:
This guide will help you to understand:
- What to expect from plan management
- The roles, responsibilities and activities of plan management providers
- The broader system plan management providers operate under.
Why use a plan manager?
A plan manager can help you:
- Increase your financial and plan management skills
- Learn how to self-manage your plan
- Pay providers
- Increase your choice of providers
- Get NDIS plan budget reports and greater budget oversight.
How can I have plan management?
At your planning meeting, you can tell NDIS staff that you would like a plan manager to support you.
The NDIS will include funding in your plan to pay for your plan manager. This is separate from your other services and supports in your budget.
If you are mid-plan and want to change, contact us at 1300 765 573 to discuss how you can include plan management in your plan.
