Fund management


There are 3 ways to have your NDIS funding managed:

Self managed: 
You manage the financial and administrative aspects of your plan and funding. You can choose your own therapists who do not need to be registered with the NDIS.
Karin Adams Speech Pathology fees can be reclaimed from your NDIS funding. 

Plan managed:
The participant can engage a business or organisation to manage their funding on their behalf. You can choose your own therapists who do not need to be registered with the NDIS.
Karin Adams Speech Pathology fees can be reclaimed from your NDIS funding via the agency managing your funds. 

NDIA managed:
Your therapists need to be Registered NDIS Providers to access this type of manged fund. 
As Karin Adams is NOT a Registered NDIS Provider, you will NOT be able to claim your speech pathology fees from your NDIS funding if it is managed by the NDIA.
