Plan-Managed NDIS on the Gold Coast: How It Works
Plan management is the middle ground between agency-managed and self-managed NDIS funding. Here's what it means for Gold Coast participants.
What Is Plan Management?
Plan management is a way of managing your NDIS funding where a registered plan manager handles all the financial administration on your behalf. They pay your providers, track your budget, and submit claims — while you keep the choice and control over which services and workers you use.
Benefits of Plan Management
Plan management gives you the flexibility to use both registered and unregistered providers (like ConnectCare Gold Coast) without the administrative burden of self-management. Your plan manager handles all invoicing and payments. This is ideal for participants who want choice and flexibility but don't want to deal with claims and paperwork.
How ConnectCare Works with Plan-Managed Participants
When you're plan-managed, ConnectCare invoices your plan manager directly. You simply approve the support hours and your plan manager handles the rest. We work closely with all major plan managers operating on the Gold Coast and in Northern NSW to ensure a smooth, hassle-free process.
Can I Switch to Plan Management?
Yes — at your next plan review, you can request to change your funding management type. If you're currently agency-managed and want more flexibility, asking to switch to plan management is a straightforward process. Contact your LAC or support coordinator to initiate a plan review.
