Did you know there are three ways to manage the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan?

1. Self Managed
NDIS Participants manage all the financial aspects of their NDIS plan, such as paying providers and keeping records of their services and invoices. This increases the participant’s control and option over how the plan funds are used but comes with the extra burden of administrating the fund.

2. Plan Managed
This option puts the management of NDIS funding in the hands of an independent expert, the so called Plan Manager. The PM Manages the NDIS funds and paperwork and pay provider’s bills. This option is paid for separately out of the NDIS plan and does not affect any of the other supports.

3. NDIA Managed
This option puts the National Disability Insurance Agency in charge of the NDIS funding. The NDIA handles all the financial administration of the plan. However, unlike plan management, participant can only access providers that are registered with the NDIS, which may limit the support options.
