What is NDIS plan management?
NDIS plan management means a registered plan manager looks after the money side of your NDIS plan: paying your providers, processing reimbursements, checking claims against the NDIS price limits and keeping your records. You still choose your providers and decide how your supports are used.
NDIS funding can be NDIA managed, self managed or plan managed. The table below shows the difference:
Plan managed vs self managed vs NDIA managed
| Plan managed | Self managed | NDIA managed | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who pays providers | Your plan manager | You | The NDIA |
| Unregistered providers allowed | Yes, for most supports | Yes, for most supports | No |
| Paperwork and record keeping | Handled for you | Your responsibility | Handled by the NDIA |
| Budget reporting | Monthly statements and live portal | Your own records | Through the my NDIS portal |
| Cost to you | Nothing (funded in your plan) | Nothing | Nothing |
Plan management for Bendigo and the surrounding towns
Greater Bendigo covers a lot of ground, from Kangaroo Flat and Strathfieldsaye to Heathcote and Marong. Because plan management is done by email, phone and online, your location doesn’t affect the service you get. Your providers send their invoices to us, we check and pay them, and you can see every payment in your portal from wherever you are.
In smaller towns, the support worker, therapist or handyman who suits you best may not be NDIS registered. With plan management, you can generally use both registered and unregistered providers, although some supports must be delivered by registered providers. The support needs to be in your plan and charged within the NDIS price limits, and we check that for you before any invoice is paid.

Frequently asked questions
Can Aspect be my NDIS plan manager if I live outside Bendigo city?
Yes. We support participants in every part of Greater Bendigo, including Heathcote, Marong, Axedale and Goornong, plus neighbouring shires. Everything is handled by phone, email and our online portal.
Does plan management cost me anything?
No. Plan management fees are funded under Capacity Building: Choice and Control (category 14) in your NDIS plan, so they don’t come out of your Core or other support budgets.
Can I use providers in Bendigo who aren't NDIS registered?
Generally, yes, although some supports must be delivered by registered providers. Supports must also be in your plan and charged within the NDIS price limits, and we check this before paying.
How do I add plan management to my NDIS plan?
Ask your planner or LAC at your planning meeting or plan reassessment. If you already have a plan, you can contact the NDIA and ask to change how your funding is managed.
Can I change my NDIS plan manager?
Yes, whenever you’re ready. Switching to Aspect is free, there are no lock-ins, and your budgets and supports stay the same. We contact your current plan manager and arrange the handover for you.
What's the difference between a plan manager and a support coordinator?
A plan manager looks after the financial side of your plan: payments, budgets and records. A support coordinator helps you find, connect with and coordinate providers. They’re separate supports and are funded separately in your plan.
