Support coordination isn’t just about organising services, it’s about helping you build momentum toward your goals 🛠️

Research shows that coordinated supports & Local Area Coordination reduce social isolation, increase wellbeing, and help people feel more in control.

If your plan includes – or should include – support coordination, we can help you navigate that journey.

Managing your NDIS plan doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Plan management & support coordination are proven supports that help you:

🔹 Keep track of your budget, invoices and payments so nothing slips through the cracks.

🔹 Choose the providers that suit you - including those not officially registered - giving you more choice & flexibility.

🔹 Connect with services & supports in your community, reducing isolation and helping you feel more in control.

At Disability Plan Services, we believe in empowering you to use your NDIS plan to its fullest, so you can focus on what matters: your goals, your wellbeing, your life 💪✨

NDIS Updates Made Simple

The NDIS has introduced some important changes to help make plans clearer and easier to manage. Here’s what you need to know 👇

✨ Impairment Categories – A new way of grouping disabilities (like physical, neurological, psychosocial, or intellectual) so your supports better align with your needs. You’ll see this at your next plan review or if you’re starting a new plan.

✨ Funding Components – Your budget is now broken into clear sections (like personal care, therapy, or transport), making it easier to see where funds can be used.

✨ Funding Periods – Instead of accessing your full budget at once, funds will now be released in stages (often 3 months at a time) to encourage sustainable use across your plan.

💡 Not sure how these changes might affect you? Our Plan Management and Support Coordination teams at Disability Plan Services are here to help you navigate the updates with confidence.

Setting Goals with Your NDIS Plan ✨

Your NDIS plan is built around the goals you set, so getting them right is key to making the most of your funding.

Your goals can be short-term (like building confidence to join a social group this year) or long-term (like studying at uni or living more independently). Every dollar of your funding is linked to these goals, which is why it’s important to be clear and specific.

A great way to set goals is to follow the SMART method:
✅ Specific – be precise about what you want to achieve
✅ Measurable – track your progress
✅ Achievable – realistic steps you can reach
✅ Relevant – aligned to your needs and aspirations
✅ Time-bound – set a target date (e.g., within 12 months)

Remember, your short-term goals are the stepping stones to your bigger dreams.

If you need support setting or reviewing your goals, our team is here to guide you through the process and help you get the most out of your plan. 💙

💡 What is NDIS Plan Management? 💡

As an NDIS participant, you have choice and control over how your plan is managed:

✨ Agency-managed – NDIA manages your funds, but you’re limited to registered providers.

✨ Self-managed – full control, but you handle invoices, records, and admin yourself.

✨ Plan-managed – a registered Plan Manager (like us!) takes care of the bills, record-keeping, and budgeting, at no extra cost to you.

👉 With Plan Management, you stay in control of your supports without the stress of paperwork. We pay providers on your behalf, keep track of your budget, and provide advice to help you make the most of your funding.

At Disability Plan Services, we go beyond the basics, we get to know you, your needs, and your goals so we can support you every step of the way.

📞 Contact us today to find out how Plan Management can give you peace of mind and more freedom to focus on what matters most.
