NDIS Funding Options

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers flexibility through three primary processes, allowing participants to choose how their funds are managed to best support their unique needs and goals. Dominion Care Services, a dedicated NDIS-registered provider, is here to guide you through these options, helping you create a support plan that maximizes your independence and control.

1. NDIA Management Option

With NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency) management, Dominion Care Services works in collaboration with the NDIA to ensure your needs are fully met through agency-managed funds. This option allows for your funding to be managed directly by the NDIA, an independent statutory agency committed to supporting individuals with disabilities. The NDIA assigns a representative to oversee your funds and make payments on your behalf, giving you the peace of mind that your funding is professionally managed.

At Dominion Care Services, we maintain close communication with your NDIA representative, creating a seamless link between your service providers and the agency. We facilitate payments for your supports, working together to align with your needs and preferences. With the NDIA Management Option, you gain access to a simplified process while ensuring that your chosen supports are in place to help you reach your goals. Dominion Care Services is here to make this journey smooth, keeping you empowered and well-supported.

2. Self-Management or Trusted Individual Option

For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, the Self-Management option gives you the freedom to control your funding and make decisions that align with your goals and preferences. You, or a trusted individual such as a family member or friend, can manage your funds, selecting your support providers, tracking spending, and handling payments directly. This option allows for a high degree of flexibility and customization in choosing services and supports.

If self-managing feels overwhelming, Dominion Care Services is here to support you. We can connect you with an NDIS support coordinator who will walk you through the details of managing your funds and understanding NDIS requirements. Together, we can establish payment solutions that suit your circumstances, giving you control while ensuring you have the resources and knowledge to make informed decisions. This option empowers you to build a support network tailored to your lifestyle, with Dominion Care Services as a trusted partner every step of the way.

3. Plan Management Option

The Plan Management option offers a middle ground, combining the flexibility of self-management with the administrative assistance of agency management. Under this option, you can work with a registered Plan Manager who manages your funds on your behalf. Your Plan Manager handles payments and coordinates with your chosen providers, allowing you to focus on your personal goals and supports without the added responsibility of direct fund management.

If you decide to use the Plan Management option, your NDIS plan may include funding specifically for plan management services. This funding is used to pay your Plan Manager, who will oversee your NDIS finances, manage invoices, and coordinate payments to your support providers. Dominion Care Services can collaborate with your Plan Manager to ensure smooth payment solutions and seamless service delivery, providing you with the support you need while making the administrative aspects simpler.

Choosing the Right Option for You

NDIA Management, Self-Management, and Plan Management each offer unique benefits, and you are free to choose the option that best fits your needs or even combine options for a more personalized approach. Some participants, for example, may prefer to self-manage certain aspects of their funding while leaving others under NDIA or Plan Management. Dominion Care Services is here to help you explore each of these options, providing guidance and support in choosing the approach that aligns with your lifestyle and goals.

Regardless of which management path you choose, you retain full control over the selection and engagement of support providers. We believe in empowering individuals to make choices that suit their lives, and we are dedicated to providing support that respects your autonomy and promotes your well-being. At Dominion Care Services, our role is to be your trusted partner, offering guidance, resources, and seamless coordination to support you in navigating the NDIS system.
