Frequently asked questions
Can I have both a Support Coordinator and a Plan Manager?
Yes, absolutely. They perform different but complementary roles. Your Support Coordinator helps you understand and implement your plan, while your Plan Manager handles the financial administration and payments. Many participants find this split allows for better specialist support in both areas.
Why are there no Plan Managers listed in North Albury?
Plan Management is a service that can often be delivered remotely, as it primarily involves financial processing and communication via phone/email. Therefore, many Plan Managers operate across broad regions or statewide.

Where can I learn more about how the NDIS works?
A great starting point is our NDIS Learning Hub, which offers plain-English guides and articles on plan management, support coordination, and using your NDIS plan. Your support coordinator should also be a key source of education and help you build your understanding over time.
