How a Plan Manager helps Reservoir participants

A Plan Manager takes the financial administration of your NDIS plan off your hands. They pay your support providers, track your budget, and handle all the related paperwork. This service is available at no cost to your NDIS funding, as it is covered by a separate budget category. For participants in Reservoir, having a local Plan Manager (there are 16 operating in the suburb) can be particularly helpful, as they often have established relationships with local providers and understand the local service landscape.

Engaging a Plan Manager gives you the flexibility to use both registered and unregistered NDIS providers, maximising your choice. It also frees up your time and energy to focus on participating in your community and achieving your goals, rather than managing invoices. You can talk to a Plan Manager via the panel on this page, or learn more about Plan Management.
