The Comprehensive Starting Guide to NDIS Self-management
Carer Mates • July 10, 2025
In terms of managing your National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) payments, what are the differences between self-management and plan management? What's more, which choice is ideal for you? Even though both provide you flexibility and control over your NDIS funding, there are some significant distinctions, especially in terms of your duties and what is expected of you. In this blog, we discuss NDIS Self-Management and Plan Management and the difference between both.
Getting the most out of your NDIS plan requires planning and making sure that you have entered all of your needs so that you can access supports over the period of your plan. Consider the things that will make a difference to achieve your goals, such as reaching out to relevant community supports, managing expenses or activating services throughout the year. Also try to think about what providers could work best for you in providing services and cost-effectively meeting your needs. Be aware of when costs and funding limits apply in order for them to be factored into any planning decision - and make sure to review every aspect so there are no hidden surprises when claiming! We at Carer Mates value each person's distinctive route toward realising their NDIS plan. Because of this, we go above and beyond to make sure that people's programmes are effective for them.
