Understanding NDIS Plan Management – What’s Right for You?

Finding the Best Way to Manage Your NDIS Plan

When it comes to the NDIS, how you manage your funding can make a big difference in how flexible and stress-free your experience is. There are three main ways to manage your NDIS plan — self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed — each offering different levels of control and convenience.

If you prefer hands-on involvement, self-management gives you full control to choose your providers and manage payments directly. For those who’d like extra support handling invoices and budgets, plan management offers a balanced approach — you keep flexibility, while a registered plan manager takes care of the paperwork. Meanwhile, NDIA-managed plans are ideal for participants who want everything handled through registered providers only.

“The best plan is one that fits your lifestyle — not the other way around.”

The key is to think about your comfort level and what kind of support helps you thrive. At Just Buzz, we help participants understand their options and create a plan that fits their goals with clarity and care.
