How to choose the right provider in Perth

- Ask about their local experience: While many services are delivered remotely, familiarity with Perth's specific providers and systems can be an advantage.
- Consider your communication style: Do you prefer phone calls, emails, or a dedicated online portal? Ensure their way of working aligns with yours.
- Look at neighbouring suburbs: If you're near a hub like Osborne Park or Cannington, remember that many providers listed there readily serve wider Perth.
- Discuss their reporting: Understand exactly what budget statements you'll receive and how often, so you're never in the dark about your funds.
How a Plan Manager helps Perth participants
Engaging a Plan Manager fundamentally shifts your relationship with your NDIS plan. It means you retain full control over who provides your supports, while someone else takes care of the paperwork, processing provider payments, and submitting claims to the NDIA. This frees up significant time and mental energy that you can redirect towards your goals and daily life.
The Plan Manager featured on this page, MyMoney, illustrates this model: they handle the financial administration so you can choose from the full market of supports. Having a dedicated professional manage this side of things can reduce stress and help prevent budget overspends. You can talk to a Plan Manager via the panel on this page.

Frequently asked questions
Does using a Plan Manager in Perth cost me any of my NDIS funding?
No. The cost for a Plan Manager is paid separately by the NDIS directly to them, from a distinct part of your plan called "Improved Life Choices." This means the fees do not come out of your core, capacity building, or capital supports budgets.
Why are there so many Plan Management providers listed for Perth?
Plan Management is a high-demand service that can be delivered effectively remotely, which allows many providers to operate across wide geographic areas. The 25 active providers listed for Perth reflect both local WA businesses and larger national organisations offering their services to participants here, giving you a broad choice.
Can I switch Plan Managers if I'm not happy with the service?
Yes, you can change your Plan Manager at any time. It's a good idea to first discuss any concerns with your current provider. If you decide to switch, you simply need to agree with a new provider and they will help manage the transition process with the NDIS.
