MS Pre-planning

Pre-planning is all about ensuring you are supported to understand the NDIS and what that means for you, including what information you need to provide and knowing what to ask for when you decide to access the scheme.

MS Plan Management

Our MS Plan Managers can manage your NDIS financial transactions on your behalf. Once you have received a service, the provider will send us the invoice. We will check the invoice is correct with you or your Support Coordinator, then request payment from the NDIS. The NDIS will pay us, who will then pay the provider.

MS Support Coordination

Support Coordination is all about making your NDIS plan active. Many people find it challenging to implement the funded support and services included in their plans.
