Self-Managing NDIS participants typically have a higher level of involvement in decision-making, as they have the autonomy to choose and change their supports and services as needed. This can empower individuals to explore innovative solutions, access a broader range of providers, and exercise greater control over the delivery and quality of their supports.

Overall, self-managed NDIS participants have the opportunity to exercise greater choice and control over their disability supports, enabling them to shape their services in a way that aligns with their unique needs and preferences 

Plan Managed NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) clients are individuals who receive support and services through the NDIS but have chosen to have their funding managed by a registered plan management provider. Plan management is an option offered by the NDIS to help participants manage their budgets and payment processes.

Overall, the purpose of plan management for NDIS participants is to simplify the financial aspects of their NDIS plan, reduce administrative burdens, and provide support in effectively utilizing their funding. It allows participants to focus on their supports and services while ensuring the financial processes are managed efficiently and accurately.

NDIA-Managed NDIS providers are service providers who are directly managed and funded by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) on behalf of NDIS participants. The NDIA is the government agency responsible for implementing and overseeing the NDIS, a national scheme in Australia that provides support and services to individuals with disabilities.

When a participant chooses to have their funding managed by the NDIA, it means that the agency takes responsibility for the financial management and payment processes related to their NDIS plan. In this arrangement, the participant does not directly handle their funding or make payments to service providers. Instead, the NDIA manages the funds and pays the providers on the participant's behalf.
