10 Reasons to Get an NDIS Plan Manager (And How It Makes Life Easier)

1. It’s Free for You 

No Out-of-Pocket Costs Plan Management is fully funded under the NDIS. That means you don’t have to pay anything extra to have a professional handle the financial and administrative side of your plan. It’s an included support, and you just need to request it in your planning meeting.  

2. You Keep Full Choice and Control 

With a Plan Manager, you get the best of both worlds: control over your supports and freedom to choose any provider, even those not registered with the NDIS, while having expert financial support behind the scenes.  

3. Say Goodbye to Paperwork 

Tired of invoices, receipts, and spreadsheets? Your Plan Manager handles all the financial paperwork – from receiving invoices to submitting claims to the NDIS and paying your providers on time.  

4. Timely and Hassle-Free Payments 

Plan Managers make sure your providers are paid quickly and correctly, so you avoid payment delays that could interrupt your services.  

5. Expert Budget Tracking

 A good Plan Manager doesn’t just process invoices – they help you track your spending, so you don’t run out of funds before your plan ends or leave money unused.  

6. Clear Monthly Statements

 Every month, your Plan Manager sends a clear and easy-to-read statement showing your budget, spending, and remaining funds. No more guessing where your money is going.  

7. Help Understanding Your Plan

 Not sure how to use certain parts of your budget? A Plan Manager explains what your funds can be used for – so you can make the most of every dollar.  

8. Flexibility with Non-Registered Providers

 Unlike Agency Management, Plan Management lets you use non-registered providers. This opens up a broader range of support workers, therapists, and community programs.  

9. Compliance and Peace of Mind 

Plan Managers ensure that all invoices are valid and meet NDIS requirements, so you stay compliant with the rules and avoid the risk of misusing funds.  

10. More Time to Focus on What Matters 

Your energy should go toward achieving your goals – not managing finances. A Plan Manager gives you time back so you can focus on your health, independence, and quality of life.  

Ready to Get Started?

 If you’re already an NDIS participant, all you need to do is request Plan Management at your next planning or review meeting. If you’re mid-plan, you can request a change through the NDIS or speak to a Local Area Coordinator.
