How a Plan Manager helps Geelong participants

A Plan Manager takes the financial administration of your NDIS plan off your hands, which is particularly helpful when coordinating multiple supports. They pay your providers on your behalf, track your budget, and provide regular statements, giving you more time and mental energy to focus on your goals. There are 24 registered Plan Managers operating in Geelong, and over 5,134 across Victoria, so you have access to both local and state-wide expertise.

Using a Plan Manager also increases your choice, as you can use both NDIS-registered and non-registered providers. This can be invaluable when searching for the right Daily Living Supports. You can talk to a Plan Manager via the panel on this page, or learn more about Plan Management.
