What Plan Management Covers

The Plan Management registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.

Invoice Processing

Plan managers receive invoices from providers, verify they are within NDIS price limits and plan budget, and process payment. Turnaround should be under 5 business days.

Budget Tracking

Monitoring spending across all plan categories and alerting the participant (and coordinator) when budgets are running low. Good plan managers provide real-time online portal access.

Provider Payments

Paying providers on behalf of the participant. Plan-managed participants can use both registered and unregistered providers, giving them wider choice.

Financial Reporting

Monthly or quarterly budget reports showing spending by category, remaining funds, and projected plan utilisation. Useful for your progress reports and plan review preparation.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for plan management in Goulburn.

1.

A participant is currently NDIA-managed and frustrated by limited provider choice. Recommend plan management at their next plan review. The switch gives them access to unregistered providers while the plan manager handles all invoicing.

2.

A participant's current plan manager has slow invoice processing (2+ weeks) and providers are threatening to stop services. Switch to a plan manager with guaranteed turnaround times and a provider payment portal.

3.

A self-managed participant is overwhelmed by the administrative burden of processing invoices and keeping records. Plan management removes this stress while maintaining broader provider choice than NDIA management.

What to Expect After Referral

Plan management is one of the simplest referrals. The plan manager contacts the participant, sets up their account, and starts processing invoices. Most plan managers offer an online portal where participants and coordinators can view budget balances in real time. Plan management funding is separate and does not reduce the participant's other supports.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a plan management provider may not be delivering quality services.

Invoice processing taking more than 5 business days

No online portal for real-time budget visibility

Plan manager not communicating when budgets are running low

Charging for services outside the plan management line items

No monthly budget reports or statements

Plan Management impacts every other support because it determines which providers the participant can access. As a coordinator, develop a relationship with your participants' plan managers. Regular communication about budget utilisation helps you make better referral decisions and avoid overspending.

Referral Tips for Plan Management

Recommend plan management to participants who want provider choice but do not want to handle invoices themselves. When referring, check the plan manager's turnaround time for invoice processing (ideally under 5 business days), whether they provide a participant portal for budget visibility, and how they handle provider payment disputes. Some plan managers offer monthly budget reports that are useful for your progress reporting.

What to Check Before Making a Referral

Registration Status

Verify the provider holds the correct NDIS registration group for plan management. Check the NDIS provider register if uncertain.

Service Area

Confirm the provider services Goulburn and surrounding areas. Some providers listed here cover the broader Central Coast NSW region.

Availability and Waitlists

Ask about current waitlist times. For urgent referrals, check multiple providers simultaneously to find the fastest availability.

Cultural and Language Needs

Match the participant's cultural background and language preferences where possible. Ask providers about staff diversity and interpreter availability.

Cancellation Policy

Review the provider's short notice cancellation terms. Under the NDIS Price Guide, providers can charge up to 100% for cancellations within 2 business days.

Reporting and Communication

Agree on how the provider will report progress to you. Regular updates make your own progress reports and plan review preparation much easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a plan manager cost under the NDIS?
Plan management is funded separately in the participant's plan. The monthly fee is $104.45 and the one-off setup fee is $239.82. This funding does not reduce the participant's other supports.
Why would a support coordinator recommend plan management?
Plan management gives participants access to both registered and unregistered providers, widening their choice. It also removes the administrative burden of self-managing invoices. For participants who are currently NDIA-managed and want more flexibility, switching to plan management is often the first recommendation.
Can I refer an NDIA-managed participant to an unregistered provider?
No. NDIA-managed participants can only use NDIS registered providers. If the participant is plan-managed or self-managed, they can use both registered and unregistered providers. Check the participant's plan management type before making a referral.
What should I do if there are no available providers in Goulburn?
Expand your search to nearby suburbs. Many providers in the Central Coast NSW region service multiple suburbs. You can also submit a referral through our form above, and we will search our full database of plan management providers in the area.
How do I check if a provider is NDIS registered?
Check the NDIS Provider Register at provider.ndis.gov.au. Search by provider name or ABN. The register shows current registration status, registration groups, and any conditions on registration. Providers listed on Carevo display their NDIS registration status on their profile.
What information should I include when making a referral?
Include the participant's name (with consent), their NDIS plan number, the relevant line items and budget available, the service frequency needed, any specific requirements (cultural, language, gender preference), and your contact details as the referring coordinator. The more detail you provide, the faster the provider can assess whether they can accept the referral.
