Plan Management is one of the key services offered under the NDIS and is available to those who are eligible for NDIS support. This article will explore the definition of Plan Management, the benefits that it offers, who is eligible for Plan Management, and how to set it up.


Plan Management is a service that allows NDIS participants to manage the finances associated with their NDIS support plan. It is a flexible way for participants to control their budget and access a range of services that are not otherwise available under the NDIS. Plan Management allows participants to manage their funds, select their Service Providers, and access specialist support and assistance.


Plan Management offers a range of benefits to participants. One of the main benefits is that it gives participants more control over their finances and gives them more freedom to choose the services that they wish to access. Participants can select their service providers, allowing them to access the best possible care and support. In addition, Plan Management can help reduce administrative costs and provide ongoing support and assistance over the life of the plan.



To be eligible for Plan Management, an individual must meet certain criteria. This includes being an Australian resident and having a permanent disability that substantially reduces their ability to take part in everyday activities. Participants must also have an approved NDIS plan that includes Core and Capacity-Building supports. Additionally, other factors may affect an individual’s eligibility for Plan Management, such as age, location, and income.


Setting up Plan Management is a relatively straightforward process. First, participants must contact the NDIS and provide evidence of their eligibility. Once the NDIS has assessed the participant’s eligibility, the participant will choose a Plan Manager. The Plan Manager will work with the participant to manage their NDIS funds and access the services they need. The Plan Manager will also help with budgeting and financial planning alongside your Local Area Coordinator (LAC) and Support Coordinator.
