NDIS plan management is a service that helps people with disabilities manage the funding in their NDIS plan. Plan managers are NDIS-registered providers who work with participants to manage their budget, deal with providers, and more.
Managing your NDIS plan effectively is key to maximising your funding and receiving the best support. In 2025, participants have three options for plan management: self-managed, plan-managed, and NDIA-managed. Each option has its advantages and challenges, and understanding them can help you make the right choice for your needs.
What Are the Three NDIS Plan Management Options?
- Self-Managed
- You control your budget and pay providers directly.
- Allows flexibility in choosing registered and non-registered providers.
- Requires strong financial management skills to track invoices and payments.
- Plan-Managed
- A registered plan manager handles payments and budgeting on your behalf.
- Provides flexibility in choosing providers while reducing administrative stress.
- No extra cost, as the NDIS funds plan management services separately.
- NDIA-Managed
- The NDIA directly pays registered providers on your behalf.
- Limits choices to only NDIS-registered providers.
- Less administrative responsibility but less flexibility.
Benefits of Choosing NDIS Plan Management
- More Flexibility: You can use both NDIS-registered and non-registered providers.
- Less Paperwork: Your plan manager handles invoices and financial tracking.
- Budget Control: You receive regular reports on your spending.
- NDIS Compliance: Plan managers ensure your funding is used correctly.
How to Choose the Best Option for You
- If you want full control and can handle admin tasks → Self-Managed
- If you want flexibility with minimal admin work → Plan-Managed
- If you prefer NDIA to handle everything and don’t mind provider limits → NDIA-Managed
