4What is an NDIS plan?
An NDIS plan is a document that outlines your goals, aspirations and any support you might require to get through everyday life. You’ll provide this information at your planning meeting with your Local Area Coordinator, where you can also discuss how much funding you might require in order to meet each part of your plan.
5What's covered by the NDIS?
Assistance with the NDIS covers a range of aspects, including daily personal activities, transport, mobility (wheelchairs or frames), access to education and employment, living arrangements and independence, general health and wellbeing, along with home and vehicle modifications, household jobs, and therapy, as required.
6How do I prepare myself for the NDIS?
When you meet with the NDIS representative, you’ll be asked many questions about your life. Be prepared to answer them as this will help you to get the right plan in place, and as such, the right amount of support. You will need your personal details, community and mainstream support information, the goals you want to achieve, and information about your safety and how you currently manage every day tasks.
7Can I make changes to my NDIS plan?
Once your NDIS plan is approved, you can always talk to them and ask them to do a review of that plan if your circumstances or goals change. Simply explain to them what you want, and why, and it should be easy enough to adjust. This includes if you want to use a Plan Manager to manage your funds and to also get access to more provider services such as unregistered providers.
Using a Plan Manager allows you to access an unregistered provider easily.
8How do I know how if I still have enough money in my NDIS budget?
PlanCare will be able to provide you with access to your budgets and spending via our friendly plan dashboard, so you can rest assured you won’t run out of funds before you’re ready. You can also rest easy knowing one of our helpful Plan Managesr can keep track of everything for you, which will take the stress off you.

2How much does Plan Management cost?
It doesn’t cost you anything. It’s all part of the NDIS scheme and is available to all participants if you want it. Just ask!

5How do I find service providers?
Get in touch with our team today and we can provide you with information relating to service providers in your area. You can also find registered service providers in your area at www.ndis.gov.au or call the NDIS helpline on 1800 800 110.
6What is the difference between unregistered and registered providers?
NDIS service providers are asked to register with the NDIS themselves, however not everyone does this – and that’s okay. It just means they can’t claim their invoices with the NDIS directly.
Using a Plan Manager allows you to access these unregistered providers easily.
