Plan management

Plan Management

NDIS plan management is a process of managing the funds allocated to an individual’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan. Plan management involves ensuring that the NDIS funding is used effectively to support the individual’s goals and needs.

  • Agency-managed: Under an agency-managed plan, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) manages the individual's NDIS funding on their behalf. The NDIA pays for the supports and services directly to the providers.
  • Self-managed: Under a self-managed plan, the individual manages their own NDIS funding. They are responsible for paying the providers and managing the paperwork associated with the plan. The individual has more control and flexibility over their supports, but also takes on more responsibility.
  • Plan-managed: Under a plan-managed plan, a registered plan manager manages the NDIS funding on behalf of the individual. The plan manager pays for the supports and services on behalf of the individual and manages the paperwork associated with the plan. The individual has more control and flexibility over their supports, without taking on the full responsibility of self-management.

Plan management can help to ensure that the individual’s NDIS funding is used effectively, efficiently, and transparently. Plan management can also help to reduce the administrative burden on the individual and their support network, allowing them to focus on achieving their goals and needs.
