How to Switch NDIS Plan Managers: A Step-by-Step Guide
Switching NDIS plan managers is your right as a participant, and it is much simpler than most people think. You do not need to wait for a plan review, and you can make the change at any time.
When Should You Consider Switching?
There are several signs that it might be time to look for a new plan manager:
- Invoices are taking too long to be processed
- You cannot get timely responses to your calls or emails
- You are not receiving regular budget updates
- You feel like you are not getting personalised support
- Your plan manager is not helping you understand your plan
How to Switch in 4 Simple Steps
- Choose your new plan manager. Do your research and find a plan manager who aligns with what you need. Look for fast processing times, clear communication, and genuine care.
- Contact your new plan manager. Let them know you want to switch. A good plan manager will handle most of the transition work for you.
- Notify your current plan manager. You or your new plan manager can let your current provider know about the change.
- Your new plan manager takes over. They will update the NDIS portal, begin processing your invoices, and set up your account.
What Happens to Unpaid Invoices?
Any invoices already submitted to your current plan manager should be processed by them. Your new plan manager will handle all new invoices from the date of the switch.
