This pride is borne out of the team’s lifelong passion and dedication to helping people, either directly in the disability sector, or as a part of everyday life PLAN MANAGEMENT A Plan Manager will help you organise the financial side of your NDIS plan, much like a bookkeeper. Their role is to ensure that funds are being spent in line with your budget. Plan Management is funded by the NDIS. At your planning meeting, simply tell your NDIS Planner that you would like a Plan Manager to support you. The Plan Manager’s role is to submit claims to the NDIS for supports and services after they have been provided, as well as pay the actual providers of those supports. This is done by claiming money from the right budget categories on the NDIA portal. Our skilled Plan Managers are backed by robust systems and processes. They have extensive experience in accounting and/or bookkeeping and know the NDIS well. We take the time to hand-pick the right people for Plan Manager roles – excellent problem solvers with exceptional financial literacy. The NDIS is complex and requires significant administration. Our sophisticated IT systems redirect precious Plan Manager time to assisting participants, while ensuring compliance. Our team is not focused on KPIs but on quality outcomes. We carefully manage the number of participants each Plan Manager oversees to ensure they have enough time and resources to focus on your needs. We promote community-based teams, which means that you’re introduced to a small network of supports ready to help your primary manager, while you’re backed but a whole organisation with strength and depth.

BUDGET BUILDER Budget Builder is unique to Auscare Support. Its fills some of the service gaps you might experience from when you first get your plan to really activating and using it. For example, you might need someone to simply arm you with knowledge about how to navigate the NIDS so that you can quickly move forward independently. This might include an overview of how the system operates, to building up a working knowledge of the MyPlace portal. Or you may need to be introduced to the provider system and shown how to search for supports and set up Service Agreements. Under Budget Builder Plus, the first few provider relationships can even be established and locked in to help build momentum and knowledge before you move forward. Budget Builder is also a great supplement to understanding and maximising the financial side of your plan. Budget Builder analysts access sophisticated budgeting software that helps you really understand the detail of your budget provider by provider, week by week, month by month and year by year. This added insight and control offers you peace-of-mind, knowing that you are making the most of your funding and are in the best position to achieve your goals.
