Advantages of Empowrd NDIS Plan Management in Wollongong

Managing your NDIS funding might seem like a lot to handle — but it doesn’t have to be. With Empowrd’s support, you’ll have access to expert NDIS plan management Wollongong that comes at no cost when included in your NDIS plan.

Expert Advice from Professionals

Understanding the NDIS can be complex, but with experienced plan managers on your side, the process becomes much more manageable. Our experienced team helps you make the most of your funding, without the overwhelm.

Flexibility, Choice and Control

Choosing NDIS plan management means you're not limited — you can work with both registered and unregistered providers. That opens up a wider range of service options throughout Wollongong, giving you the freedom to choose who supports you.

Free Up Your Time and Less Stress

We handle the admin so you don’t have to. That includes making payments, submitting claims, and managing provider invoices — so you can focus on your goals, not the paperwork.

Real-Time Budget Monitoring

Each month, you’ll receive a breakdown of what’s been spent and what remains. It’s clear, simple, and puts you in control of your NDIS budget.

Funded Separately

Your access to NDIS plan management in Wollongong is covered independently within your plan. It won’t impact your existing support categories — and there’s no added cost to you.

Your NDIS Plan Management Wollongong Options

Managing NDIS funding isn’t a one-way street — the right approach depends on how involved you want to be in the process.

Plan Managed

Under this option, the NDIS covers the cost of a plan manager who takes care of all financial transactions with your providers. You’re free to work with both registered and non-registered services, while the back-end administrative tasks are handled on your behalf.

Self-Managed Plans

With self-management, the funding is transferred directly to you. You take control of selecting providers, approving services, handling payments, and tracking your budget. This option gives you maximum independence, but it also means more hands-on work.

Agency-Managed Plans

Here, the NDIA oversees payments and limits your options to registered providers only. It’s a more structured pathway, ideal for those who prefer a simplified setup with minimal personal admin.

A combination

 of the three options.

For many NDIS participants living in Wollongong, choosing a plan-managed option strikes the perfect balance. It gives you more freedom, access to a broader range of supports, and removes the day-to-day pressure of paperwork and payments.

Wollongong NDIS Plan Management FAQs

  • Why should I use an NDIS plan manager?

    Working with a plan manager under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) means less time worrying about paperwork and more time focusing on your goals. At Empowrd, we offer NDIS plan management services in Wollongong, handling provider payments, claim submissions, and budget oversight — so you can stay focused on what’s important to you.

  • Do NDIS plan management services cost anything?

    No, there’s no out-of-pocket cost for plan management when your plan includes the ‘Improved Life Choices’ category. The NDIS covers the full plan management cost, including all fees associated with your plan manager. This means you can partner with a registered provider like Empowrd at no additional expense.

  • Will this affect my disability funding?

    Not at all. Plan management is funded separately from your core and capacity-building budgets. Your plan manager in Wollongong takes care of the financial side without reducing the funds available for your therapies, services, or supports — helping you stay on track toward the best outcomes.

  • How are my providers paid?

    When a service provider in Wollongong submits an invoice, your plan manager processes it through your NDIS bookings and handles payment on your behalf. In most cases, invoices are processed quickly — often within 24 hours, depending on approval timelines.

  • Can I replace my NDIS plan manager?

    Absolutely. You’re free to switch plan managers whenever it suits you. Just inform your current provider and confirm your final date of service. To avoid any disruption in payments or support, it’s a good idea to have your next plan management provider ready to step in before the transition.

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

    No, the NDIS cannot deny this request. Every participant has the right to choose plan management if they wish. You don’t need to give a reason — the choice is entirely yours.

  • Can plan management work alongside support coordination and other NDIS supports?

    Yes. These services often go hand-in-hand. While your plan manager focuses on the financial side — such as processing invoices and managing provider payments — a support coordinator works alongside you to build your support network, connect you with the right services, and help with day-to-day needs like goal-setting and daily tasks.


    Many participants benefit from accessing NDIS support coordination services through their plan, as it can complement plan management by offering personalised support when navigating complex care needs. Together, they create a more holistic way to manage your NDIS supports, which allows you to stay focused on your well-being and future goals.
