NDIS Funding
Self-managed, Plan-managed or NDIA-managed?
Understanding how your NDIS funding is managed can help you choose the support experience that suits you best. Medina Care works with participants, families, carers and referrers across Sydney to make the process feel clear, respectful and easy to navigate.
Your Options
Three ways funding can be managed
How to Choose
What matters when comparing options
The best funding management option depends on how much administration you want to handle, how much flexibility you need, and what level of support feels right for you or your family.
Flexibility and provider choice
Self-managed and plan-managed participants can usually access a wider range of providers, including many non-registered providers, depending on their supports and plan arrangements.
Administration and peace of mind
If you would prefer less paperwork and invoice handling, plan-managed or NDIA-managed funding may offer a more streamlined experience while still supporting your goals.
At a Glance
Quick comparison
Here is a simple way to think about each option when planning your supports with Medina Care.
Best for independence
Self-managed funding may suit participants who want maximum control over providers, scheduling and budget decisions.
Best for balance
Plan-managed funding often suits participants who want flexibility and choice without managing every invoice themselves.
Best for simplicity
NDIA-managed funding may suit participants who prefer the NDIA to handle payments directly to registered providers.
