How does NDIS plan management work?
It’s simpler than you might think! Once you choose us as your plan manager, we become your go-to team for all things NDIS-related.
Here’s how it works:
- Your service providers send their invoices directly to us, and we take care of paying them from your NDIS funds on time.
- We keep a close eye on your budget, making sure everything’s in order and you’re not overspending.
- Plus, we’re always here to answer your questions and offer advice on how to make the most of your plan.
It’s like having a super-efficient, NDIS-savvy friend who’s always got your back!
Who pays NDIS plan managers? How much does an NDIS plan manager cost?
Here’s the best part – you don’t pay a cent! The NDIS itself covers the cost of plan management.
When you choose to have your plan managed, the NDIS includes a special category in your plan called “Improved Life Choices.” This is where our fees come from, so you can enjoy all the benefits of plan management without worrying about any out-of-pocket expenses.

Great question! While both services aim to help you get the most out of your NDIS plan, they play different roles:
Plan Management (that’s us!) focuses on the financial side of your NDIS plan. We handle payments, track your budget, and make sure you’re using your funds effectively.
Support Coordination, on the other hand, is all about helping you implement your plan and connect with service providers. A Support Coordinator might help you find and choose providers, set up service agreements, and coordinate your various supports.
Think of it this way: if your NDIS plan were a car, the Support Coordinator would be like a GPS, helping you navigate and choose the best route. We, as your Plan Manager, would be like the car’s engine, making sure everything’s running smoothly under the hood!
PRODA (Provider Digital Access) is a secure login system that allows service providers to access government services online. For NDIS participants, it means that providers like us can securely access your information and submit claims on your behalf. This keeps your data safe and ensures your claims are processed efficiently.
PACE (Participant and Caregiver Engagement) is an approach within the NDIS to manage participant information and claims more effectively. By handling PACE claims, UIS NDIS Plan Management Services ensures that your claims are processed accurately and quickly. This system helps streamline the administrative process, reducing delays and making sure you receive your support promptly.
