Five ways to manage your plan

Agency Managed

This is where providers claim directly from the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

Plan Managed

Funding in your plan is allocated to a third party so they can manage the financial transactions in your plan.

Self Managed

You (or your nominee) directly manage the funds - all transactions are completed by the participant for services rendered.

Automated Payments (transport only)

These funds can be deposited into an NDIS bank account weekly, fortnightly or monthly to you directly.



Combination

 A combination of the above four options can also be used together to meet individual needs.
