What is Plan Management?
Every experienced NDIS participant know that NDIS plan management is one of the important options when it comes to managing your NDIS fund.
Basically, NDIS Plan Management means you are having a registered professional manage the financial aspects of your NDIS plan instead of you doing it yourself or having the NDIA do it for you.
ADACSS NDIS Plan management is an ideal choice for participants who may not feel confident about exploring the complexities of the NDIS on their own and would rather leave the task in the hands of an expert.

What is an NDIS Plan?
If you are eligible for NDIS will receive an NDIS plan automatically. This plan includes the funding the individual might have received in order to support their well-being and independence. The plan and the funding will be based on the necessity of the disability. The plan must also include the individual’s goals and aspirations. The plan should also reflect the participants’ choices and independence over the process.

How much does Plan Management cost?
Plan Management comes out of its own separate budget under Capacity Building, called ‘Improved Life Choices’. This is separate from other funded supports, meaning you won’t lose funding that you can spend on other services if you choose to use a Plan Manager. Plan Management funding consists of a set-up fee and a monthly processing fee
