What’s included

The supports under this service

We tailor the mix to you, but here’s what this service typically covers. Each maps to an NDIS support category your plan may fund.

Invoices paid on time

We pay your provider invoices promptly and correctly, so your supports keep running smoothly and no one is left chasing payment.

Budget tracking

We keep an eye on your funding as it's spent, so you always know how much is left and your plan lasts the distance.

Monthly statements

Clear, easy-to-read statements each month show exactly where your money has gone — no jargon, no guesswork.

Your choice of providers

Being plan-managed means you can use both registered and non-registered providers, opening up more options to suit you.

How it’s funded

Where this sits in your NDIS plan

Plan management is generally funded under Capacity Building — Improved Life Choices. The good news: this funding is set aside separately and does not come out of your other supports, so choosing a plan manager won't reduce the budget you have for everyday assistance.

The fees we claim for managing your plan follow the official price limits the NDIA sets — never a rate we decide ourselves. Current as at 26 July 2026, those limits are set out in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026–27 (effective 1 July 2026). The NDIA reviews these arrangements from time to time — typically each 1 July — so the fees that apply are always the ones current when your support is delivered, and we don't list specific figures here. If you'd like to understand how an NDIS pricing update works, our plain-language guide to NDIS pricing updates explains what does and doesn't change.

If you're not sure whether it's in your plan, we're happy to sit down and help you read through it — no obligation. Plan management works alongside however your plan is currently managed, and we'll make the change feel simple from day one.

Common questions

Plan management FAQs

Does plan management cost me anything?

No. The NDIS funds plan management separately under Improved Life Choices, so it's at no cost to you and won't touch the rest of your budget. If it's not in your plan yet, just ask for it at your next planning meeting.

When the NDIS updates its prices each year, does my plan or budget change?

No. When the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) updates the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits — which it reviews each year — the funding already in your plan stays the same until your plan is next reviewed or reassessed. What can change is the maximum rate a provider may charge, so the same budget may cover a different amount of support. As your plan manager, we always apply the price limits that are current when a support is delivered and pay your invoices against your budget for you, so you don't have to keep track of the figures yourself. For a plain-language walk-through of how an update works, see what an NDIS pricing update means for your plan.

Can I still choose my own providers?

Absolutely. Being plan-managed gives you the freedom to use both registered and non-registered providers, so you're never limited in who you work with — the choice is always yours.

How quickly do you pay invoices?

We aim to process and pay invoices promptly once they're approved, so your providers aren't left waiting and your supports keep running without interruption.
