How funding categories work
The NDIS divides funding into different categories:
- Core budget: Most flexible funding category, can be used across different core services
- Capacity building budget: Allocated to specific service categories
- Equipment and modifications budget: Specific funding for assistive technology and home modifications
Accessing services
Participants can choose:
- Registered NDIS providers
- Unregistered providers
- Self-managed care workers
- A combination of these options
Additional features
- Early intervention services for children
- Assistance for carers and family members
- Crisis intervention when needed
- Plan management services to help handle funding
- Regular plan reviews to assess and adjust care needs
Important considerations
- Services must be reasonable and necessary
- Assistance must be related to the participant’s disability
- Funding cannot cover everyday living costs
- Services must represent value for money
- Care should help participants pursue their goals
The NDIS represents a significant shift in how disability services are provided in Australia, moving from a system where people received standardised assistance to one where individuals have greater choice and control over their care. The scheme aims to help participants build their independence and capacity while pursuing their goals and participating more fully in society.
Each participant’s plan is individualised, taking into account their specific needs, circumstances, and aspirations. The scheme recognises that disability care needs can change over time and allows for plan reviews and adjustments as required.
Service co-ordinators can help participants navigate the system, understand their options, and connect with appropriate service providers. This assistance is particularly valuable for those who are new to the scheme or have complex care needs.
How does plan management work?
Follow our easy 3 step process
Email invoices to us
To ensure prompt payment of your NDIS services, you or your provider can email invoices directly to us as a separate pdf attachment.
Your invoices must include your NDIS participant number, the service dates, and a clear breakdown of the services provided with their corresponding NDIS line item numbers.
All correctly submitted invoices will be processed within 3-5 business days. Service providers submitting multiple participant invoices will need to send them in individual emails to help us maintain accurate records and prevent any delays in payment.
To maintain compliance, all invoices must match the services in your NDIS plan and stay within your allocated budget.
If you’re unsure about whether a specific service can be claimed, contact our team before the service is delivered as this helps avoid any unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.
Fast NDIS payment processing
We process and pay invoices usually within 3-5 business days.
Payments may take longer than 5 business days due to:
- Participant’s invoice approval
- missing details on an invoice required to make a valid NDIS claim
- missing supplier details, or incorrect details
Electronic payment methods like direct deposit are our preferred option, offering the fastest way to receive your funds. When submitting claims through the NDIS portal, double-check that all details match your service agreements and price guides.
Clear, itemised billing with accurate NDIS line items helps us process your payment without the need for additional verification.

Frequently Asked Questions about NDIS Plan Management
What is NDIS plan management?
NDIS plan management is a service that helps you manage the financial aspects of your NDIS funding. A plan manager acts as an intermediary between you, your service providers, and the NDIS, handling all financial transactions and paperwork on your behalf.
How much does plan management cost?
The cost of plan management is fully covered by the NDIS through a separate funding category in your plan. You won’t need to use any of your support funding or pay anything yourself, as the NDIS adds this extra amount specifically for plan management services.
This means you can access professional financial management services at no personal cost while keeping all your other support budgets intact.
What’s the difference between plan management and self-management?
With Plan Management, a professional handles all your financial administration while you maintain choice and control over your care and services. Self-management means you handle all financial aspects yourself, including paying providers and submitting claims to the NDIS.
Can I choose any service provider if I have a plan manager?
Yes you may. Unlike agency-managed plans, plan management allows you to use both registered and unregistered NDIS providers, giving you more flexibility and choice in your chosen care.

A Plan Manager provides the following services:
- Pays provider invoices on your behalf
- Tracks your budget and funding
- Provides monthly statements
- Maintains financial records
- Handles all NDIS claims and reconciliation
- Offers advice on budgeting your NDIS funds
How do I switch to plan management?
You can request plan management during your initial planning meeting or plan review with the NDIS. Once approved, you can choose your preferred plan manager and provide them with your NDIS plan details.
Will plan management affect my funding for other benefits?
