Ask for a Plan Manager to make your NDIS experience easier!
During your meeting, the NDIS representative will ask you how you would like your NDIS funding to be plan managed.
This refers to how your funds will be paid and financially managed.
The plan management provider of your choice will assist you in managing your NDIS plan funds.
The plan manager receives the funds from your plan via the NDIA when a claim is made, which is then used to fund the services you receive.
To ask for Plan Hero as your Plan Manager you need to provide this info in your planning meeting:
