Who Can Benefit from Choice and Control Support?

Choice and Control (Plan Management) may be helpful if you:

Want flexibility to use both registered and unregistered providers
Don’t want to manage invoices and payments yourself
Want help understanding how your NDIS budget is tracking
Feel overwhelmed by the financial side of your plan
Want more visibility over how your funding is being used

This support is available to any NDIS participant, regardless of disability type or support needs.

Can I change Plan Managers?

Plan Managers, through this support, provide practical, behind-the-scenes support that keeps your plan running smoothly. This includes:

Paying providers: Processing invoices on your behalf
Budget tracking: Helping you understand how much funding you have left
Using providers: Giving you flexibility to choose registered or unregistered providers
Plan clarity: Explaining what supports can be claimed under your plan
Reducing admin: Taking care of paperwork so you can focus on your life

Plan Managers do not choose providers for you, they support your decisions.

Common Questions About Choice & Control Support Support

Is Choice and Control the same as the NDIS principle?

No. In this context, Choice and Control refers specifically to the Plan Management support category in your NDIS plan, not the broader principle of choice and control that guides the NDIS system.

What can a Plan Manager help me with?

Plan Managers handle the financial and administrative side of your plan. They can:

Pay providers on your behalf
Track your budget and spending
Explain what supports can be claimed

Reduce paperwork so you can focus on your life

They do not choose providers for you. You remain in control.

Can I change Plan Managers?

Do I have to use a registered Plan Manager?

Plan Managers are usually registered NDIS providers, which ensures they meet quality and compliance standards. In some cases, participants may use unregistered Plan Managers if allowed under their plan. Your NDIS specialist can help clarify what’s right for you.

Does Plan Management cost me money?

No. Plan Management is funded separately in your NDIS plan, so it does not reduce funding available for your other supports.

Can I use Plan Management with any type of provider?

Yes. If your plan is Plan Managed, you can use both registered and unregistered providers, giving you more flexibility. Your Plan Manager will process invoices for any provider you choose.
