Plan Management for Newcastle and the Hunter region
We support participants from Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Cessnock, Port Stephens and all areas of the Hunter region, and we can help people anywhere in NSW. Being in a regional area doesn’t mean your choices will be limited to registered NDIS providers.
Through plan management, you are free to choose any registered NDIS provider or any eligible unregistered service provider. That includes all types of allied health, community services, and support workers. This can be especially important in rural and regional areas, where there may be fewer registered providers. Long travel time between service providers can also significantly add to the cost of support.
We’ll manage your invoice processing, monitor your NDIS support budget, and provide you with regular reports, including monthly summaries and full budget reports. If you are working with a Support Coordinator, we liaise with them and your wider support network to manage service agreements, reporting and payments.

Does Plan Management Cost Anything?
Will adding plan management decrease my NDIS funding?
No. NDIS plan management is a separate funding category within your NDIS plan and does not affect the funds you have available for other supports such as therapies, care services, or activities.
The NDIA sets one rate for plan management ($104.45 a month for 2025–26). All registered NDIS plan managers in New South Wales charge this rate. You will never pay per invoice or have any hidden fees.
Can I add plan management to my current NDIS plan?
Yes. You can request to add plan management during your planning meeting, plan review, or reassessment. If you need help with this, just get in touch.
