Plan Management:
What a Plan Manager Does:
- Pays your service providers’ invoices on your behalf- Claims funds from the NDIS portal- Tracks your budgets and spending across all categories- Provides regular statements showing what you’ve used and what’s remaining- Helps you understand your funding and how it is being used- Keeps financial records accurate and up to date- Allows you to access both registered and non-registered providers- What a Plan Manager Does NOT Do- Does not find or recommend service providers- Does not organise or coordinate your supports- Does not manage how your supports are delivered
