NDIS – 3 Plan Types
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia offers various management options for participants’ funding, each with different requirements for businesses providing services. Here’s a brief overview of the three management types and the associated requirements for service providers:
1. Self-Managed: (31%) – Hart can see as normal clients
In this option, NDIS participants manage their own funds.
Service Providers: Businesses providing services to self-managed participants do not need to be NDIS registered. However, they must comply with all relevant legal and taxation obligations. It’s a more flexible option for participants as they can choose any provider, registered or not, provided the services meet the participant’s plan goals.
2. Plan-Managed: (49%) – This requires a dedicated NDIS offering – which we are currently creating
Participants engage a Plan Manager to manage their NDIS funds.
Service Providers: Similar to self-managed, businesses do not have to be NDIS registered to provide services to plan-managed participants. The Plan Manager handles the financial side of things, including paying invoices. Businesses should be aware that Plan Managers might have their own criteria or standards for service providers.
3. Agency-Managed (NDIA-Managed): (20%) – Hart can’t offer as registration is required for all providers
Here, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) manages the participants’ funds.
Service Providers: To provide services to agency-managed participants, businesses must be NDIS registered. This involves meeting strict requirements set by the NDIS, including compliance with the NDIS Practice Standards, undergoing an audit process, and adhering to pricing limits set by the NDIA. Registered providers are subject to ongoing quality reviews and audits to ensure compliance with NDIS standards.
