How a Plan Manager helps Springvale participants
A Plan Manager takes on the financial paperwork of your NDIS plan.

This means you keep full control over who supports you, while someone else handles the complex payments and reporting.
Having a dedicated professional manage this can reduce stress and save you significant time. For example, the Plan Manager featured on this page, MyMoney, provides this service. You can talk to a Plan Manager via the panel on this page.

What's the main benefit of using a Plan Manager?
The key benefit is choice. With a Plan Manager, you can use any provider—whether they are NDIS-registered or not—while they handle all the invoices, payments, and budget tracking on your behalf. This gives you maximum flexibility without the administrative burden.
Are plan management fees paid from my NDIS plan?
