How a Plan Manager helps Torquay participants
Having a dedicated Plan Manager means you retain full choice and control over your supports while someone else handles the administrative heavy lifting. They pay your providers directly from your NDIS plan, track your budgets across each support category, and take care of all the claim submissions to the NDIS portal. This is particularly valuable for accessing local, unregistered providers or unique community activities in Torquay that might not be registered with the NDIS.
For instance, the Plan Manager featured on this page, MyMoney, provides this service.
