Difference between standing & participant approvals.

Difference between standing & participant approvals.

At Aspect Plan Management we understand that the receipt and review of all your invoices can be overwhelming for some whilst being a source of choice and control for others. 

To ensure we are accommodating for all our participants needs – we offer both a standing and participant approval option.  

What is the difference between standing and participant approval?

Standing approvals – For those who don’t want the hassle of administrative work. 

  • This approval type enables submitted invoices to be automatically approved for payment by Aspect Plan Management without you or your nominees needing to review them. 
  • This keeps things moving for your providers and takes the stress off you, with payments processed within 3 business days. 
  • You will then be sent monthly statements from us detailing all invoices paid throughout the month so you can easily keep track and stay informed!  

Participant Approvals – For those who desire full control of what is spent from their NDIS Plans at all times. 

  • This approval type means all invoices sent to Aspect Plan Management will first be sent to you or your nominee for review and approval prior to payment being made. 
  • Any invoices not approved within 7 business days will be automatically approved to ensure your valuable providers are still paid in a timely manner. 
  • You will still receive monthly statements from our office outlining all bills paid for the month to ensure maximum choice and control over your NDIS funding.
