25.01.2022 Your consumables budget in your NDIS plan covers the purchase of low-cost and low-risk products from a range of in-store and online retailers. From continence and sanitation products bought from your local pharmacy to specialist clothing and hardware products, this part of your NDIS budget can go a long way if you spend it the right way. But not all products can be purchased from this part of your budget. Items like prescription medication and cosmetics fall outside of where... your budget can be spent. If you have been over or under spending in this funding category, you should reassess how much money you are spending (or not spending) on consumables. You may not be getting the most out of your consumables budget, and haven’t realised it yet.

22.01.2022 As an NDIS participant, you might be wondering what the difference is between a registered and non-registered service provider. A registered provider meets the NDIS quality and safeguards standards. However, not all providers choose to register.

Using a Plan Manager allows you to access a non-registered provider easily, giving ...you more choice when selecting providers you'd like to work with. Want to learn more about your options when it comes to managing your plan?

17.01.2022 This is a common question we get from NDIS participants. It depends on a few factors. Usually, with no invoicing issues, the payment should reach your supplier's bank account within 2-6 days.

03.01.2022 Sometimes we waste too much time condemning others, while we should be thinking about how to become better everyday.

03.01.2022 The biggest misconception is that #NDIS Plan Managers assist participants in locating appropriate services and link participants to services. How to best utilise your funding and locating the best supports for you is typically the role of your NDIS/LAC planner, or Support Coordinator. Your plan manager is primarily responsible for ensuring the supports you choose are paid from your NDIS budget. Does the NDIS confuse you? Are you overwhelmed by all the information out there? ...

All you have to know is how much funding you have b...een allocated, how much is remaining, and how much time you have left on your plan. So, how do I know if you have underspent?
