Frequently asked questions
Can I use a Plan Manager based outside of Caringbah?
Yes, absolutely. Plan Management is largely conducted remotely, so you can choose from any of the 4749 registered Plan Managers across NSW. However, as there are four operating locally in Caringbah, you might prefer the option of having face-to-face meetings if needed.
What's the difference between a provider like Kairos Care Pty Ltd and a sole practitioner?
A larger registered provider like Kairos Care Pty Ltd (which has 15 registered services) often has a multi-disciplinary team and can coordinate several supports internally. A sole practitioner offers a direct, one-on-one relationship. Your choice depends on whether you prefer a consolidated service or a specific therapist.
