Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a Support Coordinator and a Plan Manager in the NDIS?

A Support Coordinator helps you understand and implement your NDIS plan, connect with providers, and build your supports. A Plan Manager handles the financial side—paying invoices, tracking your budgets, and providing spending reports. They are distinct roles that can work together to support you.

Can I use a Plan Manager based outside of Sunshine?

Yes, absolutely. Plan Management is often conducted remotely, so you can choose a Plan Manager located anywhere in Australia. Many participants in Sunshine work with Plan Managers from across Victoria or other states, based on who offers the best service for their needs.

Where can I learn more about managing my NDIS plan?

A great starting point is our NDIS Learning Hub, which offers plain-English guides and articles. For questions specific to Plan Management, speaking directly with a registered Plan Management provider is the best way to get personalised advice.
