NDIS plan management is the way the funding in your National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan is managed. There are several kinds of plan management so making the right choice is important. Whenever you access a service or a piece of equipment using your NDIS plan, a financial transaction is made. Every transaction made using the funds in your plan has to follow the rules of the NDIS and be tracked and accounted for. Plan management is the choice you make about who is responsible for tracking your budgets and paying your service providers.
