Expert NDIS Plan Management to Maximise Your Funding

You stay in control, we help you manage budgets, pay providers, and get the most value for your plan.

What is Plan Management under the NDIS?

NDIS Plan Management is a service where a registered provider like Maple Community Servicesâ„¢ supports you in managing the funding within your NDIS plan. These providers are called Plan Managers, and their role is to help you handle the financial administration of your supports.

As an NDIS participant, you'll go through a planning process to assess your needs and determine the most suitable support options. Once your goals and funding levels are identified, your NDIS plan is developed in collaboration with you, an NDIS representative, and any nominated service providers. This plan is reviewed regularly to ensure it continues to meet your needs.

At Maple, we make NDIS Plan Management simple and stress-free. We handle the everyday tasks associated with your plan — including receiving invoices, verifying service delivery, claiming funds from the NDIA, paying your providers, and keeping you updated with regular budget reports. Our Plan Managers work closely with you to ensure your NDIS funds are allocated effectively, so you can focus on achieving your goals.

How Do I Start an NDIS Plan?

First of all, you need to apply for NDIS funding by filling out the Access Request Form and emailing it to the NDIA. Once they receive your form, they will subsequently invite you for a planning meeting to discuss the supports that are reasonable and necessary to you and what kind of funding would best suit your needs. 

Once you have been approved for funding and you receive your budget, you can start creating your plan. During this initial meeting and continuously throughout your plan, you can set or change your goals to help you live a happy, healthy life. Your Plan Manager will help to facilitate these goals by connecting you to the most appropriate providers.

The funding under SIL supports the assistance and support needed in these situations rather than the costs of the accommodations themselves. Expenses such as rent, groceries, utilities, telephones, and internet access, as well as general household items such as furniture, appliances, and cooking utensils are the responsibility of the participant or may be supported through other government or non-government programs. Only assistive devices or aids can be supported through NDIS funding.

What Does an NDIS Plan Manager Do?

Your NDIS Plan Manager plays a key role in managing your plan funding and ensuring your providers are paid on time. They handle invoice processing and budget tracking on your behalf, giving you peace of mind and more time to focus on your goals.

Your Plan Manager can communicate directly with your service providers or coordinate through you — depending on your preferences. They also provide regular updates and monthly spending statements to help you stay informed and in control of your NDIS budget.

How Do I Find an NDIS Plan Manager?

As an NDIS participant, you have full control and choice over the supports you receive within your available budget. A Plan Manager’s role is to help you facilitate your plan and deal with the finances. To find your best Plan Manager, be sure to research your options thoroughly as they can have a significant impact on how your supports improve your life.
