where you are responsible for paying providers and all the paperwork

Agency Managed

where registered providers directly bill the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA)

Or you can choose to use a combination of management types to suit your needs.



When you use an NDIS plan manager, they are responsible for paying invoices from your service providers. A plan manager also is responsible for providing you with information to enable you to manage your plan effectively, such as monthly spending statements.

Plan managed:

  • Increased control over how your plan funds are used
  • Choose registered and non-registered providers
  • Help with paying your NDIS support providers
  • Professional budget management, ensuring funds are available for the length of the plan
  • Help navigating the NDIS

Self-managed:

  • Make decisions in line with your plan goals
  • Choose registered and non-registered providers
  • Employ your own staff or pay someone to employ others
  • Control and full responsibility for your NDIS funds and claiming from the NDIS

Agency managed:

  • Ability to check the myplace portal to see claims providers are making against your NDIS funds
  • Choose from registered providers only
