Plan Management for Newcastle and the Hunter region
We support participants from Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Cessnock, Port Stephens and all areas of the Hunter region, and we can help people anywhere in NSW. Being in a regional area doesn’t mean your choices will be limited to registered NDIS providers.
Through plan management, you are free to choose any registered NDIS provider or any eligible unregistered service provider. That includes all types of allied health, community services, and support workers. This can be especially important in rural and regional areas, where there may be fewer registered providers. Long travel time between service providers can also significantly add to the cost of support.
We’ll manage your invoice processing, monitor your NDIS support budget, and provide you with regular reports, including monthly summaries and full budget reports. If you are working with a Support Coordinator, we liaise with them and your wider support network to manage service agreements, reporting and payments.

Does Plan Management Cost Anything?
We handle the administration of your plan at no expense to you.
The NDIS funds plan management from a separate Improved Life Choices category on your plan. The NDIA sets the plan management fee at $104.45 per month.
This fee doesn’t reduce the funding you have for your support. We claim it directly from the NDIA through a separate line in your plan. Your budget for therapy, equipment and support remains untouched, as plan management expenses are covered by that separate budget.
We look after all of your invoices and payments on your behalf, regardless of whether you use registered or unregistered providers.
If you’re also working with a support coordinator, we’ll keep them informed about your plan and budget, so you can use your full support budget to purchase supports. Our support funding is the same across the whole of Sydney, from Penrith to the Northern Beaches.
Not sure how to get plan management added to your plan? We can tell you how to ask at your next plan meeting.
Plan management doesn’t take away funding from your therapy, equipment or support budgets. In fact, by managing your plan, it leaves you free to choose from a wide range of support services available across Sydney and NSW.
