What Box Hill participants typically look for
Participants and carers in the area often seek Plan Managers who can simplify the financial side of their NDIS journey, providing clarity and freeing up time to focus on achieving goals.
- Freedom of choice: A key benefit of plan management is the ability to use both registered and unregistered providers, opening up more options for therapists and support workers in Box Hill and beyond.
- Clear budget tracking: Regular, easy-to-understand statements that show how much funding is left in each budget category.
- Reliable payment processing: Ensuring providers are paid promptly so supports continue without interruption.
- Local knowledge or accessibility: While much can be handled remotely, some prefer a provider with an office nearby or one that understands the specific services and providers operating locally.
How to choose the right provider in Box Hill
- Check their service scope: Some Plan Managers, like Attainable Care in nearby Epping, also offer other supports. Decide if you want a specialist or a provider that can manage multiple services.
- Ask about their systems: Inquire how you'll submit invoices and check your budget. A good online portal or app can make management much easier.
- Consider proximity: While most communication can be online or by phone, having a local office in Box Hill for face-to-face meetings can be important for some.
- Understand their fees: Plan Management fees are paid by the NDIS from a separate part of your plan, not your core budgets. Ensure you understand their charging structure.
- Know your fallback options: If you can't find the right fit locally, remember there are strong concentrations of Plan Managers in neighbouring suburbs like Melbourne, Epping, and Dandenong.
How a Plan Manager helps Box Hill participants

This removes a significant administrative burden, allowing you to concentrate on accessing the right supports in Box Hill.
The Plan Manager featured on this page, MyMoney, handles these financial tasks, giving you the freedom to choose any registered or unregistered provider. You can talk to a Plan Manager via the panel on this page.

Frequently asked questions
Does using a Plan Manager in Box Hill cost me anything?
No. The NDIS pays for your Plan Manager separately from your other support budgets. Using one does not reduce the funding available for your therapies, supports, or equipment.
Are all Plan Managers in Box Hill registered with the NDIS?
To provide Plan Management, a provider must be NDIS registered. All 17 Plan Managers listed as serving Box Hill in this directory are registered, and they are part of 5,157 registered Plan Managers operating across Victoria.
What if I can't find a suitable Plan Manager in Box Hill?
Many Plan Managers service clients remotely. You can engage a provider based in another suburb, like the many options in Melbourne or Epping. The most important factors are their service, systems, and communication style, not their physical office location.
