All invoices will go directly to your plan manager, who then coordinates the claiming and payment process directly with the NDIS and your providers. You can think of them as the connection between your providers and the NDIA, managing all communication and invoices on your behalf. They can also act as a support person while you learn to self-manage.

Key benefits of NDIS plan management:

• Full control over your funds
• Choose any provider to help achieve your goals
• Any billing issues or questions are resolved on your behalf by your plan manager
• No need for self budgeting, bookkeeping or financial tracking
• An opportunity to learn new self-management skills
