What is NDIS plan management?
NDIS plan management is one of three ways to manage your NDIS funding. A registered plan manager pays your providers, tracks your budget and handles the paperwork, while you and your family keep choice and control over your supports.
Here’s how plan management compares with the other two options:
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 |
Support for Ballarat families and carers
Many plans are managed with help from a parent, partner or carer. Our 24/7 online portal lets you give the people you trust secure access, so everyone can see which invoices have been paid and how much is left in each budget, without waiting for a phone call or an email.
Monthly statements make it easier to plan ahead, and if something doesn’t look right you can call our small team and speak to someone who knows your plan.

Frequently asked questions
Can I manage my child's or family member's plan with Aspect?
Yes. If you’re the participant’s nominee or parent, or the participant gives permission, we can set up secure portal access so you can see invoices, payments and budgets.
Is NDIS plan management free in Ballarat?
Yes. Plan management fees are funded under Capacity Building: Choice and Control (category 14) in your NDIS plan, so there’s no out-of-pocket cost and your other budgets aren’t reduced.
What does an NDIS plan manager do?
A plan manager looks after the financial side of your NDIS plan: paying provider invoices, processing reimbursements, checking claims against your plan and the NDIS price limits, tracking your budget and keeping records. You still choose your providers and decide how to use your supports.
How long do reimbursements take?
Reimbursements up to $250 are usually paid within 1 to 2 business days, and larger amounts usually within 3 business days.
Do I need to visit an office to sign up?
No. You can sign up online or over the phone, and your providers send their invoices to us by email.
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.
