People with disabilities are diverse. Their experience of disability, support needs, cultural background, personal circumstances and preferences will be completely different from one another. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) acknowledges the diversity of its participants and emphasises the importance of person-centred planning.
Through person-centred planning, we can focus on the unique goals and strengths of a participant and help them choose support and services that best suit their lives. A person- centred approach is important in the case of plan management as well. Plan managers must
build a trustworthy relationship with the participants to deliver services effectively.
Plan Management is an NDIS-funded support that helps the participants to manage and monitor their NDIS funding as well as ensure timely payment of their service provider invoices. Plan Managers help the NDIS participants in gaining a clearer understanding of their NDIS funding. This will ensure that the participant can make the most out of their NDIS funding. As part of person-centred planning, plan managers constantly keep in touch with the support coordinators of the participants and collaborate with them to make the NDIS journey
as easy as possible for the participants. Having plan management in their NDIS plan also allows the participants to expand their choice of providers. This advantage provided by plan management ensures that the participants have greater choice and control over their support
and services.
Plan Guard Plan Managers believe that person-centred planning supports the development of realistic and measurable goals that are meaningful to the participants, helping them to progress towards the best NDIS outcomes. Person-centred planning is essential in
plan management as it focuses on the individualised needs and goals of the participants. We can help the participants to have a stress-free experience when it comes to managing the financial aspect of the NDIS. Contact us today to know more about our support and services.
