Are you an NDIS participant?

    NDIS Unregistered Provider

    Due to the lengthy and expensive registration process, many small businesses and service providers opt not to register in the NDIS. These suppliers are referred to as unregistered providers. The professionalism or caliber of services provided by a service provider are unaffected whether they are registered or not. Tania is an unregistered NDIS provider. Meaning, if you are plan managed or self managed, you will be able to use some of Tania’s services depending on your plan goals.

    Self Managed Plan

    As long as the services you choose, arrange, and pay for are in line with the objectives of your plan, you have control and flexibility with a self-managed plan.

    There are more people you can choose to work with because the service provider you employ doesn’t have to be an NDIS registered provider. You may therefore work with an NDIS Unregistered Provider.

    Plan Managed Plan

    When you have a Plan Managed Plan, your registered plan manager supports you in managing the administrative, financial, and purchasing aspects of the plan as well as its selection and purchase.

    Although the services providers you utilize with this kind of plan don’t have to be NDIS registered, your plan manager must be. You may therefore work with an NDIS Unregistered Provider. This allows you more flexibility in terms of who you can work with, similar to a Self Managed plan.

    NDIS Managed Plan

    An NDIS Managed plan, also known as an Agency Managed plan, is one in which the NDIS actively runs your plan on your behalf. Because you can only deal with NDIS registered providers, your options for partners are limited. You must choose the services you want to use from an NDIS list.

    You cannot use our services with this kind of plan since we are not listed as a provider with the NDIS.

    When your plan is renewed or reviewed, you have the option to alter it if you realize it isn’t the best one for your needs.

    Happy Clients

Also, she was the first person I’d ever met who was also practising Dr. Joes work, it was just such a brilliant synchronisation! My interactions with her were very meaningful to me.”

    “They (group of families) are all very happy and have learnt a lot about the reasons why our children feel different. Thank you so much for all the insight you have given us.”
