Whether you are planning for a new plan or you have had a plan approved, it is likely that you will be having conversations around the different types of funding available. There are 3 ways that your funding can be managed. Self-managed, plan managed or NDIA managed.
Self Managed Funding:
Self- Managed: This means that you have complete control of your plan, you can pick your own provider and will be responsible for paying them directly. It gives you a great amount of flexibility but can require some extra work. You will be required to document your payments, keep receipts and will need to adhere to employer obligations.
Plan Managed Funding:
Plan Managed: This means you use an external provider or organisation to manage your plan. You are allocated funding for this provider/organization in your plan. A plan manager will help to keep track of your funds, recommend providers and pay any invoices for services/supports.
Plan managers are required to be registered with the NDIS and will claim the funds directly from the NDIS to pay the support/services invoiced.
NDIA Managed Funding:
NDIA managed funding: The means the NDIA directly manage your funds to pay providers. When managed by the NDIA, you are only able to access registered providers. The NDIA are responsible for keeping record of your service/supports.
At Physiotherapy in Motion, we are able to see Self and Plan Managed participants. We have the required NDIS worker screening checks and working with children checks. If you are currently self/plan managed and would like to make an appointment, you can contact us directly via our website or email us at [email protected].
If you are NDIS managed, you may request to change to plan/self managed or you can contact the NDIS directly for providers in your local area.
