Understanding NDIS Plan Management

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can seem complicated. Managing your funding, paying invoices, and following NDIS rules can take time and effort. This is where NDIS Plan Management comes in.

A Plan Manager, like Skylight, helps you handle the financial side of your NDIS plan. This means you can focus on your goals while leaving the paperwork to experts.

What is NDIS Plan Management?

Plan Management is a service that takes care of:
✅ Paying invoices for services you use
✅ Keeping track of your spending
✅ Making sure your funding follows NDIS rules

With a Plan Manager, you get support managing your funds but still have control over which services you use.

How Can You Manage Your NDIS Plan?

There are three main ways to manage your plan:

  1. Agency-Managed – The NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency) controls your funding and pays only registered providers.
  2. Self-Managed – You handle all payments, track spending, and follow NDIS rules yourself.
  3. Plan-Managed – A Plan Manager looks after your financial tasks while you still choose your providers.

Plan Management is a great middle option because you get more choice than agency-managed plans while avoiding the admin work of self-management.

Who Benefits from Plan Management?

Plan Management is a good option for:
People who want choice – You can use both registered and unregistered providers.
Those who don’t want financial stress – A Plan Manager takes care of payments and tracking.
Families and carers – Loved ones can focus on care while the Plan Manager handles admin.
