How a Plan Manager helps Mount Waverley participants

A Plan Manager takes the financial administration off your plate. They pay your support providers' invoices directly from your NDIS plan, track your spending across all budget categories, and provide regular statements so you always know where your funding stands. This service is funded separately in your NDIS plan, so it doesn't cost you any of your support budgets.

Most importantly, using a Plan Manager gives you the flexibility to choose any provider you want—whether they are NDIS-registered or not. This opens up a much wider range of local therapists, support workers, and activity providers in Mount Waverley.
