If you or a loved one has a disability, you may have heard of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and NDIS Plan management. NDIS is a government-funded program in Australia that provides financial support and services to eligible people with disability. NDIS Plan management is a key aspect of the program that ensures individuals have access to the support and services they need to achieve their goals. NDIS Plan management is the process of managing the funds that the NDIS provides to eligible people with disability, it enables individuals to access and use their funds to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.
The management can be done by the individual, a registered NDIS Plan management provider, or a combination of both. It allows customers to access their NDIS funds quickly and easily to pay for the services and supports they need. These can include support like occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy, and more.
Plan Management helps people living with a disability to be more independent. It enables customers to make their own decisions about the support they receive and how they use their funds. This helps customers to take more responsibility for their care, allowing them to make positive changes in their life. Also, Plan Management helps families and carers of people with disability. It simplifies the invoicing process, so it is easier for carers to access the services and support they need. It also helps carers to understand their financial situation and makes sure that funds are used appropriately
NDIS Plan management is available to eligible individuals who have an NDIS plan. To be eligible for NDIS funding, an individual must meet certain criteria, including having a permanent disability that significantly impacts their daily life.

You can easily change your NDIS plan manager at any time. There are no costs involved with the process, and you can switch even if the NDIS has already covered a set-up fee to your existing provider. Additionally, the process is very straightforward – all you need to do is contact the NDIS to discuss a change in your plan and you can start the process.
Furthermore, you can also change to a new plan manager by discussing it with your existing plan manager. They will provide you with information about your plan and help you to change it.
So, if you are unsatisfied with your current NDIS plan manager, don't hesitate to contact the NDIS and start the process of switching providers.
Self-management means that the individual who is receiving NDIS Support manages their finances and takes full responsibility for their financial choices. Whereas, Plan Management helps provide more support with your finances and takes the weight off of the client's shoulders with less responsibility, as well as having someone keep an eye on your budget and spending habits. Clients will be able to focus on improving their quality of life and building their capacity in other areas if they choose Plan Management.
The Plan Management Service Fee is completely covered by your NDIS plan, under the “Improved Life Choices” Budget, and is added on top of your already allocated funding. NDIS Plan Management will be responsible for managing your book-keeping and records of your spending. Furthermore, Self-management is also an option, which provides flexibility and choice to decide what support you buy to pursue your plan goals.
