Manage Your Funding With an NDIS Expert
Plan management is a type of disability service funded by the NDIS to assist participants in managing their plan funding. Your Leora Plan Manager will help you with your finances, and at no additional cost – they’re funded by the NDIS!
What's the best way to manage your NDIS funds?
Your NDIS funding can be managed in three ways, but Leora Plan Management gives you full choice and control and the ability to focus on your goals. Your other options are:
NDIA Managed
This is the default method of funds management. In this option, the NDIA will pay NDIS registered providers on your behalf.
Self-managed
Some people choose to manage their NDIS funds themselves. If you choose this, you or your nominee will be responsible for all the activities involved in managing your Plan’s finances.

How Leora Plan Management is helping Paul
Paul used to be with another plan manager but switched to Leora. “I found [Leora] to be a lot friendlier, helpful, easy to get along with. They work with me, not against me.”
With the stress of financial admin lifted off his shoulders, Paul can focus more on his NDIS goals and his many home projects, including taking care of his fruit and vegetable garden.
We visited him with his Leora Plan Manager, Logi, for a chat about his experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I get plan management?
You can request for plan management funding at the very start of the NDIS planning process, during your plan reassessment or even mid-plan. Funds for NDIS plan management will appear under Capacity Building – Improved Life Choices. As it has its own funding line item, plan management will not diminish funding for the other services that you need.
What is included in my plan management funding?
Plan management funding includes:
- a plan management establishment fee
- a monthly processing fee
The establishment fee covers the initial cost of establishing financial arrangements between the participant and the plan management provider.
In order to claim the establishment fee, your chosen provider should meet with you, the participant, and formalise the arrangements in a service agreement.
The monthly processing fee, on the other hand, covers the ongoing costs a plan management provider incurs in supporting your needs and ensure the effective financial administration of your NDIS plan.
Can my plan manager claim all my plan funds at the start of the plan?
No. A plan manager can only submit claims for supports and services after they have been provided.
Once an invoice or receipt has been issued and sent to a plan manager, they will make a claim for that amount from the NDIS.
All plan funds remain with the NDIS until a plan manager submits a claim for that amount.
Once the claim is submitted and approved, the funds are released, which your plan manager can then use to pay your service provider.
No worries, we have plenty of options for you!
