Yes, you can switch whenever you want, and you don’t need to wait for reassessment. We handle the transition with your previous plan manager and service providers, so there will be no need for worry. Our support team is here to guide you through the switch, and make everything as seamless as possible.
If you have a support coordinator, we are delighted to work with them to ensure that your support services are smoothly delivered. While your support coordinator helps you get the right and best services so you can achieve your goals, we manage the financial side of your NDIS plan, so you can have a seamless experience.
We often educate NDIS plan participants on how to avoid overspending when they start their plans. Every time we receive an invoice, we notify you so we can start the processing. Whether you spend above your budget, or the service provider sends a higher claim above the price limits, we handle everything.
Ideally, record keeping is the job of your plan manager, however, it is not a totally bad idea if you want to keep copies of your receipts and invoices.
No. You do not have to be tech savvy to work with us. Our participants are allowed to inform us about their preferred mode of communication, which can either be via phone, email or the client portal.
Yes. Your plan manager will ensure that you have all the accurate financial records, and also ensure that your NDIS funds are used accurately, and also provide all the answers you need about your spending history.
There is a high chance that this will not happen, because our plan managers are efficient and skilled. Too many times, incorrect invoices come from the support provider asking to claim beyond the agreed negotiation. After you see the notification, please inform your plan manager so get the issues resolved.
When your plan gets renewed, you will continue to experience the same support we gave you. Whether it is an old plan or a new plan, your funding is secured, and finances will be accurately managed.
