Self-Managed vs Plan-Managed NDIS: Which Is Right for You?

When it comes to managing your NDIS funding, you have three options. Let's focus on the two that give you the most provider choice:

Self-management means you handle everything yourself — paying providers, keeping records, managing your budget, and meeting tax and reporting obligations.

Plan management means a qualified plan manager handles the financial side — they pay invoices, track spending, and manage records while you retain full choice over providers.

Both options let you use registered and unregistered providers — the key difference is who does the paperwork.
