Understanding plan management under the NDIS

A plan manager is a financial intermediary who handles the payment side of your NDIS plan. They receive and pay provider invoices, track your budget across categories, provide regular financial statements, and ensure claims are correctly lodged with the NDIA. Essentially, they handle the paperwork so you can focus on using your supports.

Under the 2025–26 NDIS Pricing Schedule, plan management is a fixed monthly fee of $104.45, with no setup fee (it was removed on 1 July 2025) and no per-claim fee. These fees are drawn from a dedicated plan management budget in your plan and don’t reduce your other funding.

A reputable plan manager should process invoices within three to five business days and give you access to an online portal where you can see your remaining budget in real time. Some providers offer mobile apps that make tracking even more convenient. Slow payment is the most common complaint participants have about plan managers — it damages your relationship with providers, so payment speed is worth asking about upfront.

One major advantage of plan management is that it opens up access to both registered and unregistered NDIS providers. If you’re Agency-managed, you can only use registered providers, which limits your options. Plan management gives you the flexibility of self-management without the administrative burden of lodging claims yourself.

When comparing plan managers, ask about their reporting frequency, what format their statements come in, whether they flag budget risks early, and how they handle provider disputes. Some plan managers also offer informal support coordination — helping you find providers — though this varies and isn’t funded separately. The best plan managers are invisible most of the time and only make themselves known when you need them.
