A NDIS Plan Manager or a Support Coordinator can assist NDIS participants in different ways. Understanding how to make the most of each service will help to maximise your NDIS plan.
NDIS Financial Plan Management explained
First, to understand what a NDIS Plan Manager does you need to understand why you need Financial Plan Management!
NDIS Financial Plan Management is the management of the funds allocated through your NDIS plan. You can manage your NDIS funds independently or engage a Plan Manager for support and assistance. Having a NDIS Plan Manager can help take the stress out of managing your NDIS fund and ensure you are maximising your benefits.
It is important to note, when working with a NDIS Financial Plan Manager, you still have control and flexibility over how your funds are used.
NDIS Support Coordination explained
While NDIS Financial Plan Management is focused on finances, Support Coordinators help to identify what services and supports are available to achieve your goals, while assisting you and your loved ones to navigate the NDIS system.
What are the differences between NDIS Plan Managers and Support Coordinators?
Both NDIS Plan Managers and Support Coordinators offer significant benefits if you are on a NDIS plan. While both roles aid NDIS recipients, they differ in their focus areas and operational methods.
Financial Plan Managers track, pay, and reimburse you for your NDIS related expenses. They may:
- Pay your providers
- Submit claims to the NDIS portal
- Reimburse & track your expenditures
- Help you engage with registered and non-registered NDIS providers
Working with a Support Coordinator may look like
- Goal setting
- Helping you find community activities and therapy supports to achieve your goals
- Developing meaningful and fulfilling relationships
- Exploring different housing options
Simply put, NDIS Financial Plan Managers help you with the administration of your NDIS funds, whereas Support Coordinators help you to navigate and implement your NDIS plan effectively.
