Who Can Benefit From Plan Management?
The notion that only participants who have complex support needs should opt for plan management is wrong. It is simply an option that makes your life easier while giving you all the benefits of self-management for your NDIS funding.
It is also helpful if you get your supports through Supported Independent Living whether at home or in a shared house, and if you just do not want the hassle of carrying out NDIS Worker Screening requirements such as a police check for every worker you employ, financial tracking for your spending and other administrative tasks.
Although Plan Managers do not technically carry out those NDIS Worker Screening requirements and checks, working with us makes them easier.

How much does NDIS Plan Management Cost?
One of the most common questions we get asked is: “Will the plan management reduce my NDIS budget?” The answer is no.
Plan Management is funded through the Improved life choices category in the NDIS plan. You do not have to worry about your support funds reducing.
However, the NDIA sets the monthly plan fee, so the cost is the same regardless of your location in Australia.
