The proportion of payments across the NDIS’s three management types has changed, according to the NDIS’s latest Quarterly Report.
Between the December 2023 quarter and the December 2024 quarter, the changes were:
* Plan-managed increased from 56% to 60%
* NDIA-managed decreased from 32% to 30%
* Self-managed (either all or part of a participant’s plan) decreased from 13% to 11%
These changes in NDIS plan management preferences are important for providers. For example, the increase in plan-managed participants suggests a growing reliance on plan managers. This could potentially create opportunities for you to offer services through this channel.
On the other hand, the decline in NDIA-managed and self-managed plans may indicate a preference for more flexibility and support in managing NDIS funds. This could lead participants to opt for an external manager to help them get the most out of the Scheme.
