Below are some of our Frequently Asked Questions. Call our friendly team of NDIS specialists on 1800 63 63 77 if you have any other questions or would like to discuss Plan Management with us.
Plan Management is like having your own personal bookkeeper that assists you with:
- Receiving and recording all invoices from your providers
- Checking the invoices are correct and contain all the required information eg NDIS codes and correct pricing
- Claim the funds through the NDIS Portal
- Paying providers on your behalf and answering their enquiries
- Updating Nappa, our Participant Portal, so you can see what is happening in real-time, 24/7, that includes copies of invoices and remaining budget amounts
- Providing monthly statements
Other services we can provide, but are not funded for:
- Specialist support relating to any of your NDIS questions
- Assisting as much as we can with provider options in your region
For NDSP Plan Managers to manage your plan (or to be plan managed at all), you must have ‘Improved Life Choices’ included in your NDIS plan.
If you have an upcoming planning meeting or review, make sure you request that Improved Life Choices is included in your plan. This is the part of your plan that covers all plan management fees so there is no expense to you. If you have a current plan without Improved Life Choices included, and you do wish to be plan managed, simply request a review of your NDIS plan. Be aware however that reviews can take some time.
- Day to day living costs
- Entertainment
- Food
- Support items already delivered under other NDIS funding
- Items that do not represent value for money
- Items that may pose a risk of harm to the participant or others
- And items already covered by other Government funding such as Medicare etc.
Being plan managed costs you nothing.
When your plan includes Improved Life Choices, the NDIA completely cover our fees.
You sure can…
Your plan is yours, meaning you can change Plan Managers at any time. If you intend to transfer to NDSP Plan Managers from another provider during your current plan, you should check you current Service Agreement and check what period of notice you have to provide which may be around 2 weeks. All you need to do is provide them notice in writing that you are changing Plan Managers and you can register with us straight away but we won’t be able to provide Plan Management services until your notice period has finished.
