Which one are you?

​The NDIA pays your providers on your behalf.

When your plan is managed by the NDIA (sometimes referred to as Agency-managed):

• You are able to choose from a range of NDIS registered providers.
• Your providers claim payment electronically from your funding.
• You cannot use unregistered providers.
• You can look on the myplace portal to see what claims providers are making against your NDIS funding and keep track of your budget.
• The NDIA will manage your book-keeping and records of your spending.

​The NDIA will provide funding in your plan to pay for a Plan Manager who pays your providers for you, helps you keep track of funds and takes care of financial reporting for you.

Plan management allows you to:

• have choice and control over the providers you use;
• use NDIS registered providers;
• use non-registered providers (although your Plan Manager must be a registered provider);
• make value for money decisions in line with your plan;
• view your plan on the myplace portal to keep track of your budget.

​The NDIA provides you with funding so you can access the supports that will best help you achieve your goals
Self-managing your NDIS funding gives you control, independence and flexibility in arranging and paying for your supports.
If you self-manage your NDIS funding you will have:

• Choice in deciding what supports you purchase in line with what is included in your plan, who provides these supports and how they are delivered.
• Flexibility to use any provider that will best help you to meet your plan goals.
• Capacity to employ or contract staff directly, or have someone employ staff on your behalf.
• Control over and responsibility for your NDIS funding so you can manage your own budget for the duration of your plan.
