Self Managed Funds

Self managed funds under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provide participants with the highest level of control and flexibility over their NDIS budgets. This option allows you to directly manage your funds, choose your service providers, and oversee the administrative tasks associated with your plan. It is designed for those who are confident in handling their financial and administrative responsibilities and who want to tailor their supports to their specific needs.

How It Works

When you opt for self management, you take full control of your NDIS funds. This means you are responsible for managing your budget, paying your service providers, and keeping records of all transactions. You can choose any provider, whether they are registered with the NDIS or not, giving you the flexibility to select the best services for your needs.

You will need to submit claims to the NDIS portal to receive reimbursements for the services you have paid for. This requires a good understanding of the NDIS process and diligent record-keeping to ensure compliance with NDIS guidelines.

Benefits of Self Managed Funds

Maximum Control and Flexibility

Self management allows you to make all decisions regarding your supports and services. You can choose any provider, negotiate rates, and tailor your services to best meet your needs and preferences. This level of control ensures that your supports are truly personalised.

Cost Efficiency

By managing your funds directly, you may be able to negotiate better rates with providers, potentially stretching your budget further. This can enable you to access more or higher-quality services within your allocated funding.

Empowerment and Independence

Self managing your NDIS plan empowers you to take charge of your supports and make decisions that directly impact your quality of life. This can be a rewarding experience that enhances your sense of independence and self-determination.

Responsibilities of Self Managed Funds

While self management offers significant benefits, it also comes with responsibilities. You must handle all financial transactions, including paying your providers and managing invoices. You are also responsible for keeping accurate records and ensuring all expenses are in line with your NDIS plan and goals.

Additionally, you will need to submit regular reports to the NDIA, detailing how your funds have been spent. This requires organisational skills and an understanding of NDIS requirements to ensure compliance and avoid any issues with funding.

Why Choose Self Managed Funds

Choosing self managed funds is ideal for individuals who are comfortable with administrative tasks and want the highest level of control over their supports. It suits those who are proactive in managing their care and are confident in navigating the NDIS system. Self management can be particularly beneficial if you have specific support needs that may not be fully met by registered providers or if you want to customise your supports to a greater extent.

Self management also fosters a deeper understanding of your support needs and the NDIS process, which can be empowering. It allows you to build stronger relationships with your providers and directly influence the quality and type of care you receive.
