Why take this course?

When it comes to financial admin, it’s as if Plan Managers have taken an NDIS promotion, only with no extra pay. Your responsibilities have grown far beyond processing invoices, with expectations now including participant education, establishing budgets to ensure funding lasts the plan period, identifying and responding to fraud detection, and much more. All for a measly $104 per month. 

But wait, there’s more. The latest changes to the NDIS Act only add to the pressure, giving the Agency powers to raise debts against participants, making financial guidance even more critical (and we all know this will mainly fall on PMs).

So, what’s a Plan Manager to do? This practical 2 hour workshop equips Plan Managers with strategies to better support participants, develop their capacity to manage NDIS funds, as well as bill for additional line items for this service. So, this training aims to deliver the triple whammy: better financial management, improved outcomes for participants, AND more revenue by tapping into underutilised line items.


What you’ll gain

Across 2 hours, we’ll dive into line item “01_134_0117_8_1 Capacity Building and Training in Self-Management and Plan Management” – ultimately showing Plan Managers how to increase revenue by:

  • Identifying areas where you have opportunities to build participant capacity, and why you should invest in doing this

  • Unpacking what can and can’t be included under this Item Number

  • Claiming rules and opportunities (and claiming compliance)

  • Exploring best practice ideas and scenarios (including dedicated time to brainstorm)

  • Progressing from compliance minimums, to creative ways to build capacity

  • Supporting participants to take on more responsibility for their NDIS Plan spend

  • Creating pathways to Self Management

  • Understanding how your role can build a participant’s capacity (and the benefits it brings)

Rob Woolley

Our very own Woolly Mammoth, pulls up last in the alphabetical rankings but always gets a place on the DSC podium for combining curiosity with smarts. He knows so much about the NDIS it is scary. Rob lives a personal commitment to sharing his knowledge with an endgame of people with disability in control. Combining lived experience of the early childhood intervention pathway with professional experience of the realities of provider life - he has consistently shown the inability to hold down a real job. His roles in the disability sector have covered direct support work, project management, business development, consulting, ILC-funded advocacy roles and owner-operator of a registered and then unregistered provider (but the thing he is best at is being a very present dad). If you want a consultant or trainer in your corner you will be looking high and low to do better than our Rob.

Sally, who finished her MBA at Harvard, recently returned to university to pursue a Master’s in Disability and Inclusion (did we mention she’s dynamic?). Her dream is to do a PhD and she's putting it out there to hold her self accountable.

One of Sally's three daughters, Nicky, who passed away in 2018, was an NDIS participant for four years. Sally translates her personal and professional experience into a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities for business.
