How a Plan Manager helps Terang participants

A Plan Manager takes on the financial administration of your NDIS plan. They pay your support providers directly from your NDIS funds, track your budgets across different categories, and provide regular statements so you can see exactly how your funding is being used. This removes a significant administrative burden, giving you more time and energy to focus on achieving your goals.

Importantly, using a Plan Manager increases your choice and control. You are not limited to only NDIS-registered providers; you can also engage unregistered providers, which can be especially valuable for finding specialised local support in Terang.
