NDIS Plan Management
NDIS plan management is the selection of how your National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan is managed . There are several kinds of plan management so making the right choice is important and unique to your needs and lifestyle. All transactions that are made using your funds have to follow the rules of the NDIS and would be tracked and accounted for. Plan management is the choice you make about who is responsible for tracking your budgets and paying your service providers. There 4 types of management you can look into –
Agency Managed – The plan is directly managed by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). the NDIA is responsible for paying providers for any equipment or services you book with them. Service providers can invoice the NDIS directly. The main downside of this option is it is less flexible and you would be limited to booking services from NDIS registered providers.
Self Managed – The plan will be completely managed by you and you would be responsible for all the work. If you feel confident in organising your own services, managing money and completing complex paperwork, this would be the option for you. You are your own boss and this route would be flexible.
Plan Managed – This would be a third party managing your plan on your behalf as a “plan manager”. You will have to pay a fee to your plan manager for their services, however it is possible to receive funding in your plan for plan management.
