What is Plan Management?

Plan management allows you to concentrate on your goals while an expert handles the paperwork. A plan manager looks after the financial tasks — processing payments, monitoring spending, and managing invoices. It’s a smarter way to manage your NDIS funds. And when included in your plan, this service is available in Adelaide at no extra charge.

When it comes to NDIS plan management, experience makes a difference. Our knowledgeable team knows how the system works — helping you get the most from your plan with less complexity.

Flexibility, choice and control

Having an NDIS plan manager puts you in the driver’s seat. You can work with both registered and unregistered providers — offering more options across the Adelaide community.

Free Up Your Time and Less Stress

We manage the financial side of things — processing claims, lodging invoices, and making provider payments. All handled by qualified NDIS plan managers, so you’re not bogged down by paperwork.

Real-Time Budget Monitoring

Stay updated with easy-to-read monthly statements. You’ll know exactly what’s been paid and how much funding is left.

Funded Separately

This service is funded independently within your NDIS plan — it won’t affect your other supports, and there’s no cost to you.

Your NDIS Plan Management Adelaide Options

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to managing your NDIS funding — and knowing what’s available can help you make smarter decisions.

Plan Managed

With this option, the NDIS covers the cost of an NDIS plan manager who handles payments to your providers. You get the flexibility to choose between registered and non-registered services, while someone else takes care of the paperwork.

Self-Managed Plans

Here, the funds are paid directly to you. You manage the entire process — from selecting providers to handling invoices and keeping financial records. It’s ideal if you want full control, but it also means more admin.

Agency-Managed Plans

Under this setup, the NDIA takes care of paying providers. However, you can only work with registered providers, which may limit your options. It’s often chosen by NDIS participants looking for a more hands-off approach.

A combination

 of the three options.

For many participants in Adelaide, plan managed strikes the right balance. It offers flexibility, less admin, and access to a wide range of providers — all without needing to manage the finances yourself.

NDIS Plan Management Adelaide FAQs

  • Why should I use an NDIS plan manager?

    Partnering with a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan manager means you don’t have to handle the day-to-day admin yourself. At Empowrd, we specialise in NDIS plan management Adelaide, taking care of everything from claims and payments to budget tracking — so you can focus on living life your way.

  • Do NDIS plan management services cost anything?

    Not at all. If your plan includes the ‘Improved Life Choices’ category, the NDIS covers the plan management cost and all fees related to your plan manager. This means you can work with a registered NDIS provider to manage your budget — with no out-of-pocket expense to you.

  • Will this affect my disability funding?

    No. Plan management support is funded separately and won’t impact the budget set aside for your therapies, services, or care needs. Plan managers handle the financial side to help you stay on track and work towards the best outcomes from your NDIS plan.

  • How are my providers paid?

    When your Adelaide-based provider sends an invoice, your plan manager handles the financial management by processing it through your NDIS bookings. In many cases, payments are completed within 24 hours — depending on approval requirements.

  • Can I replace my NDIS plan manager?

    Yes, absolutely. You can switch to NDIS plan managers at any time. Just notify your current provider and confirm the handover date. To avoid delays, it’s a good idea to have a new provider ready to provide NDIS plan management before the transition.

  • Is it possible for the NDIS to deny my request for a plan manager?

    No. Every NDIS participant has the right to request a plan manager. You don’t need to give a reason — the choice is yours.

  • Can NDIS plan management work alongside support coordination and supported independent living?

    Yes — and in many cases, they work even better when combined. Each plays a unique role in supporting your journey. Your NDIS plan manager focuses on the financial side — processing payments, handling claims, and managing your NDIS budget.


    Meanwhile, a support coordinator helps you connect with services that fit your lifestyle and builds a team around your needs.


    If you’re part of a Supported Independent Living (SIL) arrangement, plan management can reduce the administrative load by taking care of payments and keeping your spending organised. This gives you more time to build independence and focus on daily living goals.

  • Do I need to request plan management during my NDIS planning meeting?

    Yes. If you want to include plan management, make sure to mention it during your NDIS planning meeting. Let your local area coordinator, early childhood partner, or NDIA planner know that you’d prefer a registered provider to manage the financial side of your plan. Once it’s added under ‘Improved Life Choices’, you can access plan management without paying extra.

  • What’s next after signing up with Empowrd?

    After you register, you’ll be introduced to a dedicated NDIS plan manager in Adelaide who will take the time to understand your goals and how you like to work. Your plan manager will also help set you up on our online portal, where you can track spending, view claims, and manage your budget with ease — all in real time.
