How a Plan Manager helps Auburn participants
Having a dedicated Plan Manager means you keep full control of your NDIS budget while someone else handles the paperwork, claims, and provider payments. This freedom allows you to choose the best support workers for you, whether they are registered with the NDIS or not, and frees up your time to focus on your goals rather than financial administration.
The Plan Manager featured on this page, MyMoney, exemplifies this service: they manage the financial transactions so you can direct your energy towards your community, therapy, or daily living supports. You can talk to a Plan Manager via the panel on this page.
