Rely on Professional NDIS Plan Management to Enhance and Simplify Your Life

Citizens and visa holders living in Australia with a permanent disability and need daily assistance may be eligible for National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funded support. The scheme provides a tailored support plan and finances to pay for the necessary service providers.

However, you’ll be responsible for choosing and paying your providers and managing your budget. NDIS plan management options include doing it yourself through the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) or preferably relying on professional NDIS plan management services. These NDIS registered providers can help save you time and administrative headaches by making accurate payments on your behalf and keeping track of your plan’s budget.

The Benefits of Relying on an NDIS Plan Management and Support Coordination

NDIS plan management providers work with you, your support providers, and the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), providing a link to ensure smooth financial management and the best outcomes. In addition, these experienced and skilled managers offer you and your loved ones peace of mind by providing relevant, objective, and independent services.

Qualified plan managers can assist you with successful plan management by:

  • Helping you select the most appropriate providers: Relying on professional plan managers allows you the same extent of decision-making as managing your plan yourself. As a result, you can feel comfortable that your manager will choose providers you’re familiar with and trust and provide appropriate and practical support for your requirements. In addition, unlike managing your plan through the NDIA, you can also select non-NDIS-registered providers to ensure you receive the right help from providers located in your community. Finally, your support plan management professional will ensure you only pay fees falling within the stipulated NDIS price guide limits to help avoid unwelcome surprises later.
  • Improving financial planning and budgeting: Keeping track of your NDIS spending is vital to ensure you don’t run out of necessary funds. In addition, structured and strategic NDIS financial plan management will keep you within plan limits via your Disability Plan Management 24-hour access online dashboard.
  • Increasing claim processing efficiency: Submitting and processing your claims under the NDIS and using their online myplace portal can be challenging and complex, or you may not be sure what is covered. Instead, your plan manager knows what’s included and how and where to file the paperwork. Thanks to your NDIS plan manager, claims submission and processing are simplified and often streamlined, with payments frequently received within days of invoice.
  • Cover and convenience: Your plan manager’s specific knowledge and experience will prove invaluable in adequately managing your plan and finances. In addition, funding for a plan manager can be included in your NDIS allocation, over and above your overall budget. So, there’ll be no unexpected additional management related financial invoicing or payments to concern you.

In addition, the NDIS encourages assisted and structured plan management to help empower participants to leverage their funding and its benefits to the fullest. In response, you can lean on the NDIS for help accessing an appropriate plan manager.

How to Access an NDIS Plan Management Provider?

Arranging your NDIS plan manager is straightforward:

  • Request plan management funding: To ask for help with your NDIS funding plan management, speak to the NDIS staff at your planning meeting. They will arrange to include the financing of a plan manager into your funding. You can also add a fund manager to your plan later by contacting the NDIS or asking to remove fund management from your plan.
  • Find a suitable plan manager: Reach out to your local Area Coordinator (LOC) or support coordinator, access the NDIS Provider Finder tool on the NDIS myplace portal, look online for websites or resources, or ask your friends and family for assistance. You have the right to choose your manager and change your manager at any stage; just let your plan manager know.
  • Decide with your manager on the services you need: A detailed service agreement between you and your plan manager will be set up, stating the services the manager will provide, how they’ll deliver the services, and how long, ensuring that everyone understands what’s expected. Please let your plan manager know if you’d like to change what you’ve agreed on. The services are to help you, and you are in charge.

Support Plan Management is a long-established, NDIS-registered plan management agency offering trusted advice, provider payment management and communication, NDIS budget spend tracking linked to a convenient mobile app, and NDIS administration and audit responses.
