A plan manager you can refer to without worrying about it

    Your reputation travels with every referral. We process invoices promptly, keep budget information accurate, and you reach our team directly rather than an automated queue.

    • NDIS Registered Provider
    • Australia-wide service
    • Real people, not a call centre queue
    • Invoices processed in 1–2 business days

    What working with us looks like

    Coordination work is hard enough without chasing a plan manager for basic information.

    • Referrals we act on

      Send a referral and you get confirmation of what happens next from someone who owns it, not silence and a follow-up you have to chase.

    • Prompt, checked invoice processing

      Valid, correctly submitted invoices are processed within 1–2 business days. Invoices are checked against NDIS pricing and the participant's budgets before claiming, so problems are caught early rather than after a provider complains.

    • Budget information you can rely on

      Clear balances and transaction history, so your reporting and implementation work is based on the actual position of the plan.

    • Issues explained, not deflected

      When an invoice can't be processed as submitted, we tell you and the provider what needs to change so it can be resolved once.

    • Professional depth behind the file

      Our team includes people with nursing, accounting and legal backgrounds, which shows in how carefully documentation, budgets and compliance are handled.

    • Straightforward transitions

      Whether a participant is new to plan management or moving from another provider, we manage the change and keep supports running.

    Processing is the step we control. Final payment timing can also depend on NDIA processing and whether we need to clarify details with a provider. Our team's professional backgrounds inform how carefully we manage your plan. Plan management does not include clinical, financial or legal advice.

    Referral pathway

    Four steps, and only the first one is yours

    From referral to active plan management, here is who does what.

    1. You do this

      Send the referral

      With the participant's consent, use the form below or call us.

    2. We do this

      Contact and onboard

      We speak with the participant or nominee, explain plan management and complete the service agreement.

    3. We do this

      Notify and coordinate

      We notify the NDIA of the change and coordinate with any previous plan manager.

    4. We do this

      Confirm back to you

      You hear from us once plan management is active, with exactly how to reach us about that participant.

    The visibility you need to do your job

    Implementation and reporting only work if the numbers are current. Here is how you get them without lodging a request and waiting.

    • Your participant can share their statements

      Participants and nominees can see budget balances by support category, spending history and invoice status in their portal, and download a statement to share with you — with their consent, on their terms.

    • A team you can reach about the plan

      You contact our team directly by phone or email and speak with someone who can look at the plan with you, rather than logging a ticket.

    • Invoice problems come with an explanation

      If an invoice can't be processed as submitted, we tell you and the provider what needs to change, so it is resolved once rather than bouncing between people.

    • Reliable figures for plan reviews

      Current balances and transaction history mean your implementation and review reporting reflects the actual position of the plan.

    Refer a participant

    Support coordinator questions

    Send us the participant's details with their consent using the form on this page, or call our team. We confirm receipt, contact the participant or nominee to complete the service agreement, and let you know once plan management is in place.

    Yes. We provide plan management australia-wide, including regional and remote participants, working by phone, email and the participant portal.

    Yes. A participant can change plan managers at any point in their plan. No NDIA approval or stated reason is required, and their supports continue while the change is recorded.

    The participant's name, NDIS number, plan dates, contact details for the participant or nominee, and confirmation that they have consented to the referral.

    We contact the provider directly with what needs correcting, rather than sending the participant or coordinator back and forth. You are informed of anything that affects plan implementation.

    No. Plan management is funded by the NDIA in your plan — it does not come out of your support budgets and there is no cost to you. It is funded separately, so it does not reduce the funding available for their supports.
