Understanding if self-management is right for you

We can help you understand what self-management will mean for you, and the best way to manage your funding to meet your needs and circumstances.

In your plan meeting, your my NDIS contact will talk to you about how you'd like to manage your NDIS funding.

They can talk to you about the benefits of self-managing and help you identify any risks or areas where you may need extra support. 

You can also: 

  • ask your friends, family, or providers for advice 
  • talk to other participants and families about their experiences. 

We’ll talk to you about whether there are any mainstream and community supports that could support you.

There are some great in-person and online self-management peer support groups that can provide suggestions and advice about self-management. 

Deciding if self-management is right for you 

It is important to consider what self-management will mean for you. There is flexibility but also extra responsibility when self-managing your NDIS funding.
