Why take this course?

Plan Managers are one of the unsung heroes of the NDIS. They play a unique and essential role to help people execute choice and control – not only do they have to help participants understand spending rules, they also need to ensure funds are used according to their Plan and process invoices compliantly themselves—all for just $104 per month.

Now, the new NDIS Law is here, and Plan Managers are copping the brunt of it. It’ll fundamentally affect their role and how plans can be spent, with many already seeing the start of operational changes inside the Agency. To make matters more challenging, there’s a lack of clear guidelines on how to understand, interpret or implement these changes into their business processes.

From the In & Out lists to NDIA debt provisions to impairment notices and more – Plan Managers are going to have to pivot to stay compliant AND support participants to get the most out of their plan (which, when we pull it all back, is the reason why we’re all here – right?) This 2 hour workshop will give Plan Managers a boost of confidence, preparation and clarity. 


What you’ll gain

Across 2 hours, we’ll dive into:

  • How Plan Managers need to apply the In & Out Lists in supporting participants to spend their Plan

  • How NDIA debt-raising provisions will affect Plan Managers and participants, and what steps Plan Managers can take to safeguard themselves

  • The role of Impairment Notices in ‘spending funds in line with the person’s Plan’ and the boundaries of a Plan Manager’s role in this

  • How Funding Periods vs Plan Lengths work, and how Plan Managers can support people to budget effectively (within the boundaries of how Plan Managers can claim)

  • How Plan Managers can work with (and support participants with) the 2 year claims cutoff

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.
