NDIS Plan Management: A Guide to Choosing the Right Option for You


Are you feeling overwhelmed by the administrative side of managing your NDIS plan? Do you want more flexibility in choosing your supports but find self-management too time-consuming? If so, NDIS plan management might be the perfect solution for you. Let's dive into what NDIS plan management is and how it can benefit you.


What is NDIS Plan Management?


NDIS plan management offers participants the freedom to choose and control their supports and funding while taking care of administrative and financial responsibilities. This service is available to all NDIS participants without any additional criteria beyond notifying your NDIA Planner or Local Area Coordinator.


Types of Plan Management


There are three primary ways to manage your NDIS plan:


  1. Self Managed: Provides complete control and flexibility but requires significant time and effort for administration.

  2. Plan Managed: Offers a balance between control and administrative support, allowing you to focus on your supports.

  3. Agency Managed (NDIA Managed): Involves the NDIA managing your plan's funds, offering less flexibility but reducing administrative tasks.



Do I Need Plan Management?


If you value flexibility in your NDIS plan but struggle with the complexity of the system or the burden of financial administration, plan management could be the right fit. Ask yourself if you would like to use non-NDIS registered providers, find self-management too time-consuming, or need help with financial tasks like paying invoices and managing budgets.


What Does an NDIS Plan Manager Do?


An NDIS Plan Manager acts as your expert accountant, administrator, and bookkeeper, handling tasks such as paying providers, coordinating service agreements, tracking budgets, communicating with the NDIA about funds, and managing financial administration and record-keeping.


Choosing the Right Plan Manager


When selecting a plan manager, look for accessibility, transparency, expertise in NDIS funding, a user-friendly digital platform, and a responsive team that can assist you when needed.
