Frequently asked questions

Can I use a Plan Manager if my therapy provider is in Joondalup?

Absolutely. Using a Plan Manager is independent of where your service providers are located. A Plan Manager pays your Joondalup-based (or any other) therapists on your behalf and helps you manage your NDIS budget, regardless of their suburb.

What's the difference between an NDIS-registered and a non-registered therapeutic provider?

NDIS-registered providers, like the Autism Association of Western Australia or Community Vision Australia Limited listed locally, have been audited against the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission standards. If you have Plan Management or are self-managing your funds, you can also choose non-registered providers, offering wider choice.

Where can I learn more about how the NDIS works?

A great starting point is our NDIS Learning Hub, which breaks down key concepts in simple terms. It covers everything from understanding your plan to finding and coordinating different types of supports.
