NDIS allocates a separate budget
Once approved, the NDIS adds a dedicated Plan Management budget to your plan. This does not reduce your core supports or other funding.

MCPM claims directly from that budget
We register as your plan manager and claim our fees from your Improved Life Choices budget. You never pay out of pocket.
-
Need a support letter? We can help
If your planner asks for evidence, MCPM can provide a support letter to help you request plan management funding at no charge.
What does plan management cost you?
Absolutely nothing out of your own pocket. The NDIS funds your plan manager separately under Improved Life Choices. Your core supports, therapy budgets, and daily activity funding are not affected in any way.

frequently asked questions
-
Q1. What does an NDIS plan manager in Newcastle do?An NDIS plan manager in Newcastle handles the financial and administrative side of your NDIS plan. This includes receiving invoices from your service providers, checking them against NDIS Price Guide rates, lodging claims through the NDIS portal, and paying providers on your behalf, typically within 2-5 business days. They also provide monthly budget statements and help you understand how your funding is being used across each support category.
-
Q2. How do I get plan management added to my NDIS plan?You need to request Plan Management as a support at your next NDIS planning meeting or plan review. Ask for it to be funded under Improved Life Choices (Support Category 7). Once approved, the NDIS allocates a separate budget for your plan manager's fees, there is no cost to you as a participant. MCPM can provide a support letter if you need one for your planning meeting.
-
Q3. Can I use MCPM if I live in a suburb outside Newcastle?Yes. MCPM serves participants across the full Greater Newcastle region, including Maitland, Lake Macquarie, Cessnock, Raymond Terrace, Port Stephens, and the Central Coast. Our services are delivered remotely via phone, email, and our online portal, so location within the Hunter Region is not a barrier. We can onboard you and begin processing invoices within 1 business day.

Q4. How long does it take to switch to MCPM as my plan manager?Most participants are fully switched and onboarded with MCPM within 1 business day of completing their sign-up. Once you register, we handle the transition, updating your details in the NDIS portal and contacting your service providers.

Q5. What is the difference between plan management and self-management?With plan management, a registered provider like MCPM handles all financial administration, invoices, claims, payments, and record-keeping, on your behalf. With self-management, you handle all of this yourself. Plan management gives you the same provider choice as self-management (registered and unregistered providers) but removes the administrative workload. It is funded separately in your NDIS plan at no cost to you.
