Are you looking for more control over your National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan? Both plan-managed and self-managed options give you a lot more control than agency-management – which is probably the reason these have now overtaken agency management as the most popular choice. NDIS participants who choose self-management or plan-management have access to around four times as many providers, but what are the real differences between plan-managing and self-managing?  

Self Management 

By choosing to self-manage your NDIS funding, you do everything yourself. You are in full control over your supports and all the finances. You can engage any provider (NDIS registered or non-registered), and you are not bound by the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. However, this does come with a few extra responsibilities that being agency or plan managed doesn’t.

Plan Management is free to all NDIS participants, with all fees paid by the NDIS. A good plan manager provides tools and technology to help you keep on top of your spending.

Plan managers are NDIS-registered providers who provide financial administrative services to NDIS participants. Independent plan managers like My Plan Manager specialise in providing plan management services and do not provide any other services to NDIS participants.

Your plan manager at a minimum will:

Plan management is right for you if: 

You like to be in control of your NDIS funding and choose from a wide range of providers, but don’t want to worry about keeping records or paying your providers.
