How a Plan Manager helps Auburn participants

A Plan Manager takes the financial administration of your NDIS plan off your hands. They pay your providers directly, track your budget, and provide regular statements, so you can focus on receiving supports rather than managing invoices. This is especially helpful with Daily Living Supports, as it allows you to use both registered and unregistered providers, giving you greater choice and control over who comes into your home.

There are 27 registered Plan Managers operating in Auburn, part of a network of 4749 across NSW. You can talk to a Plan Manager via the panel on this page, or learn more about Plan Management.
