Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be a daunting task. As an NDIS participant you have three options to manage your funding. NDIS plan management is one of them and potentially the most flexible and freeing of them and it's free.
Having an NDIS plan manager like LifeAbility Plan Management in place, can be incredibly valuable to you thriving and living your life the way you want to.
If you're an Australian living with disability who is eligible for funding through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) then having a plan manager is free for you with 'Improved Life Services'. At your planning meeting simply ask to have 'Improved Life Services' added to your plan and you can have your own Plan Manager taking care of things, at no extra cost to you!
So let's explore the top five reasons to have an NDIS plan manager and how we can make your life easier.
1. A plan manager will manage your paperwork/administration
Once you have your NDIS funding the ongoing management requires a lot of administration. We totally reduce your paperwork and do it all for you. As an NDIS participant, you will need to submit regular reports, invoices, and receipts to the NDIS. However, with a plan manager, we reduce your paperwork significantly and we take care of all the administrative tasks, reporting and budget management for you, so you can focus on living your best life.
2. A plan manager will help you manage your NDIS budget
One of the most significant benefits of having an NDIS plan manager is that we help you manage your NDIS budget. Your plan manager will work with you to ensure that your funds are allocated correctly. This means you won't have to worry about keeping track of your spending or dealing with the NDIS once you have your funding in place. With LifeAbility, you will have access to your own portal which will have up to date budget information about your plan and spendings.
3. A plan manager can offer NDIS Plan support and flexibility
One of the great things about having an NDIS plan manager is the flexibility we offer. Having a plan manager allows you to choose your supports and service providers so you get the support you need and people you get along with!
Also, as a result of all your admin, reporting and budgeting being up to date you will have a better understanding if you are meeting your NDIS goals, need to reallocate funds or if you need more NDIS funding. When your NDIS plan review comes up you will be in a better position to clearly outline and update your NDIS goals. This type of organised support ensures that you can access the support your need, when you need it.
4. A plan manager can help with your providers
We ensure that your service providers are paid promptly and we understand the different types of supports and category codes. Through this
We can support you with your service providers Since we're paying all your service providers we're in a unique position to be able to communicate with them on your behalf.
5. With a plan manager there's more time for you.
Managing your NDIS plan is time-consuming and can be stressful. With an NDIS plan manager, you will have more time for yourself. Your plan manager will take care of all the details for you, so you can focus on the things that matter most to you.
