Three ways to manage your NDIS funding.
How your plan is managed shapes which providers you can use and how much admin sits with you. Here's each option in plain English.
Self-managed, plan-managed, NDIA-managed.
You can mix and match across your plan — for example, plan-managed for some supports and self-managed for others. The right setup depends on how much admin you want to take on and which providers you'd like to use.
Self-managed
You manage the funding directly.
You pay providers, keep invoices and claim through the NDIS portal. It gives the most flexibility and choice — you can use registered or non-registered providers — and it asks the most of you administratively.
UCCS: UCCS works with self-managed participants.
Plan-managed
A plan manager handles the paperwork.
A registered plan manager pays your providers, tracks your budget and helps with claims. You still choose who supports you (registered or non-registered) — without the day-to-day admin.
UCCS: UCCS works with plan-managed participants.
NDIA-managed
The NDIA pays providers on your behalf.
The NDIA manages and pays your funding directly to providers. With NDIA-managed funding you can only use NDIS-registered providers.
UCCS: As a registered NDIS provider, UCCS can be your direct provider on an NDIA-managed plan and claim through the NDIS portal on your behalf.
Registered — and what that means for you.
UCCS is a registered NDIS provider. Our supports are independently audited against the NDIS Practice Standards and every member of our team is bound by the NDIS Code of Conduct.
In practice, that means you can work with us whichever way your plan is managed. If you're NDIA-managed, we claim directly through the NDIS portal. If you're plan-managed, we invoice your plan manager. If you're self-managed, we send clear, itemised invoices so claiming is simple.
Look for this mark on our service agreements, invoices and reports — it means the support you receive meets the NDIS Practice Standards.
Not sure how your plan is managed?
