Hosted by Jonathan Salgo, this webinar covers key changes under PACE and how these can impact support coordinators and their participants.

What the Psychosocial Recovery Coach role tells us about the future of support coordination

In 2020, psychosocial recovery coaching was introduced as a specialised offshoot of support coordination for people with psychosocial disability. Now with the NDIS review, the way participants are being supported by roles like recovery coaches and support coordinators is being looked at again.

Frequently asked questions

No. The NDIS fully pays for your Plan Manager in addition to your regular disability
funding. The extra money you receive for plan management will not lower your budget
for care and therapy.

Plan management will allow you to choose what you need to buy and which services
you need to access, without having to process invoices yourself.

1. Let your current plan manager know in writing.
Send an email to your plan manager saying you’d like to stop using them. You can
copy and paste this email template to tell them. Have them tell you when your release
date is.
2. Contact your new plan manager to sign up.
There’ll be a few forms for you to sign and a notice period, but if you’re joining Provider
Choice, we’ll guide you step by step through the entire journey.
3. Call the NDIA to ‘endorse’ your plan manager (NEW – PACE only)
This only applies to some participants who are in the new NDIS PACE system. We’re a
PACE ready plan manager, so we can help you know what to do. Not sure if you’re in
PACE? Speak to our team.

Think of a Plan Manager as your personal NDIS bookkeeper and guide. Plan Managers
sort the invoicing hassle out for you, pay your service providers on your behalf, and
help you budget your funding (your “plan”).
