When navigating your NDIS journey, understanding plan management and self-funding is essential. At JANGO Community Services, we support Gold Coast participants to choose the best funding option aligned with their goals and lifestyle.
What is Plan Management?
Plan management refers to the process by which your NDIS funding is managed and how payments are made to support providers. Choosing plan management through a registered Plan Manager, notably those we partner with, brings key advantages:
● Invoice handling and provider payment
● Budget tracking and financial oversight
● Compliance support and regular reporting
● Ability to use both registered and unregistered providers
● Minimal administrative burden
Good to know: Plan management is fully funded by the NDIS and does not reduce your core or capacity-building budget.
Comparing Your NDIS Funding Options
1. NDIA‑Managed (Agency‑Managed)
● Only NDIA-approved providers can be used
● NDIA handles payments directly
● Low administrative effort required
● Best for those seeking a simple, hands-off experience
2. Plan‑Managed
● Plan Manager handles invoices and budgets
● Use both registered and unregistered providers
● More flexibility with less paperwork
● Ideal for those needing support but wanting choice
● We work closely with trusted local Plan Managers—visit our Support Coordination page to learn more
3. Self‑Managed (Self‑Funding)
● Complete autonomy over NDIS budget and provider selection
● Not limited to registered providers
● You manage invoices, reporting, and compliance
● Suited for participants comfortable with administrative tasks
Plan Managers & Travel Support
If your plan includes travel funding, Plan Managers ensure claims for therapy, community access, or social outings are compliant and accurate. Discover how we support community participation on the Gold Coast through engaging programs, such as JANGO Jams and group activities, featured on our Community Participation page.
