NDIS Plan Management F.A.Q
Plan management is when a provider supports you to manage funding in your NDIS plan. These providers are known as plan managers. Plan management is different from having the NDIA manage funding in your NDIS plan, or you choosing to self-manage your plan.
How do I find and connect with a Gisborne plan manager?
You can contact us on 1800 861 282 to discuss how My Plan Manager NDIS Management services can assist you to get the most out of your NDIS funding.
How can I have plan management?
At your planning meeting, you can tell NDIS staff that you would like a plan manager to support you. The NDIS will include funding in your plan to pay for your plan manager.
This is separate from your other services and supports in your budget. If you are mid-plan and want to change, contact ndis.gov.au on 1800 800 110 to discuss how you can include plan management in your plan.
After I have connected with a plan manager, what do I do?
Once you have connected with an NDIS Plan Manager, you should create a service agreement. A service agreement outlines the services to be provided, how these services will be provided and how long they will be your plan manager.
How do I change plan managers?
You can choose your plan manager. You can also change your plan manager during your plan. If you wish to change, you will need to tell your plan manager. They will provide you with information about your plan and help you to change.
How Does NDIS Funding Work?
There are three types of support budgets that may appear in your NDIS plan: core, capacity building and capital supports.
Your NDIS planner will tailor your NDIS plan with support budget categories and funding connected to achieving your goals and supporting you in your day-to-day life.
For more information visit our NDIS Funding Explained resource.
How Does NDIS Plan Management Work?
My Plan Manager simplifies your NDIS experience so you can get the most out of your plan and your life. To work with My Plan Manager you need to have an NDIS plan which includes ‘Improved Life Choices’. This covers all plan management fees so there’s no cost to you. If you already have Improved Life Choices — good news! If you don’t currently have Improved Life Choices, don’t worry.
Should a plan manager advise you when NDIS funds are low?
Yes, a plan manager should provide regular reports and statements to you directly.
When a plan manager has identified overspend or underspend, the plan manager should advise you as soon as possible, regardless of reporting frequency.
Should a plan manager advise a provider when NDIS funds are low?
No, a plan manager should contact you directly.
This will allow you to contact your provider, support coordination provider or partner in the community, to discuss current service delivery arrangements and make any required amendments.
Should invoices for supports and services include the provider’s ABN?
Yes. If your provider is registered for an ABN, their invoice must display a valid ABN.
If you are providing an invoice without an ABN to your plan manager, your provider must complete the ATO’s Statement by a supplier not quoting an ABN form.
Who is responsible if a provider submits an invoice to a plan manager and there are not enough funds available?
Inappropriate use of government funds or fraud are serious matters.
A plan manager may be liable to repay any amounts which have not be spent in accordance with your plan.
For more information see the Provider Payment Assurance Program.
If I change plan manager, who is responsible for paying my ‘old’ invoices?
If you change your plan manager, the new plan manager becomes responsible for the ongoing management of your plan.
This includes to process payments on your behalf, irrespective of the date the services were rendered or the invoice date. This is to ensure that any late invoices issued by a provider from earlier in the plan period are able to be paid.
The NDIA expects payments of this kind will only be required in special circumstances.
What is the difference between a plan manager and a support coordinator and a partner in the community?
A plan manager will pay providers for supports delivered. A plan manager will help you monitor your funds, and provide financial reporting.
A support coordinator will support you to understand and implement supports included in your plan. A support coordinator will link you to providers and other community and government services. A support coordinator will also support you to build skills and direction.
An NDIS Partner in the Community delivering Local Area Coordination or Early Childhood Early Intervention Services may provide plan implementation and monitoring support to you. Partner organisations are appointed by the NDIA to help you understand the NDIS, and find providers of support suited to your needs.
Can I pay my providers more than the limits set in the NDIS price guide?
No. If you are using a Plan Manager, providers cannot charge more than the price limits outlined in the NDIS Price Guide and Support Catalogue.
What other costs can plan managers charge?
From 1 July 2020, plan managers can claim for supports not delivered in person. This includes travel costs incurred to deliver supports.
