Self-management is when you manage your NDIS funding. It gives you the flexibility and choice to decide what supports you buy to pursue your plan goals. Show
It lets you think creatively about how you can use your funds to best meet your needs. If you are interested in self-managing all or part of your NDIS plan, speak with your Local Area Coordinator (LAC) or NDIA planner. You could also talk to someone you know who is self-managing about their experience or connect with a self-management peer support group. The NDIA is committed to improving the experience for self-managers. We have developed an NDIS guide to self-management for people who are self-managing, or interested in self-managing their NDIS funding. This guide will help people understand the benefits of self-management, roles and responsibilities and how to self-manage effectively.
If you would like a printed copy, you can speak to your local office or contact us and request a copy of the NDIS guide to self-management.
