NDIS Plan Management

Plan management isn’t about being tied to someone in your suburb. Because everything’s handled online and over the phone, you can usually work with a Plan Manager no matter where you live in Australia.

An NDIS plan manager is someone who manages the financial and administrative aspects of your NDIS plan. They receive invoices, check they’re correct, pay providers, and keep track of your budget so you can focus on your recovery. 

The goal of plan management is to give you the freedom to focus on your goals and daily life without worrying about how your NDIS plan is being managed. Instead of dealing with invoices, receipts, or having awkward conversations about payments with your service providers, your plan manager does it all in the background.

Join thousands of Australians who trust Karista to connect them with reliable NDIS plan managers - take the stress out of managing your funding so you can focus on what matters most.

How do I choose a plan manager for NDIS?

Look for three things:

NDIS registration: This is non-negotiable.

Good communication: You want someone who picks up the phone, answers emails, and explains things clearly.

Proven experience: Managing an NDIS budget requires more than data entry; it demands a thorough understanding of the guidelines, the claiming process, and the ability to ensure everything operates seamlessly.

With Karista, you can be confident that all plan managers you connect with meet these essential standards.

Can I find a registered NDIS plan management provider through Karista?

Absolutely. Karista is a free online platform that helps NDIS participants connect with registered plan management providers and other disability supports. We don’t deliver plan management directly, but we make it simple to find a provider who is fully registered and ready to support you.

Do I still have choice and control if I use an NDIS plan manager?

Absolutely. Your plan manager doesn’t tell you who is your service provider or which Providers you can connect with, Karista can connect you with services, Plan Managers simply handle invoices between your nominated Service Provider and the NDIA so you can continue to get those services.

Put simply, Plan Managers just handle the admin. You still decide which providers you want, what supports you use, and when you use them.

According to the NDIS rules, only registered providers are allowed to deliver plan management services. Plan management is one of the supports for which provider registration is mandatory under the NDIS.

Second, it promises utmost security. You can rest assured that your plan funding is protected. You know invoices are being checked and processed properly.
