How we protect your plan

Most plan managers pay your invoices. We check them first.

Paying providers on time is the easy part. The part that protects you is what happens before the money moves — and whether anyone is really watching. Here is exactly what we do, and, just as honestly, what each safeguard cannot do.

Before the money moves

We check invoices before we pay them, not after.

When a provider invoice arrives, it does not go straight to payment. It runs through a set of checks first — while the money is still yours to hold.

What this actually does
  • Compares the price against the current NDIS price limits for that support item.
  • Verifies the provider’s ABN and business identity against public records.
  • Looks for duplicates — the same service, dates or amount billed twice.
  • Flags sudden changes to a provider’s bank details, the classic sign of a redirection scam.
Where we are honest about the limits

What a check cannot do: confirm that a support was actually delivered the way it was described. Only you know if the session happened. Some legitimate invoices get held for a quick query — we would rather ask than pay something wrong.

Looking ahead, not just back

We tell you when your budget is likely to run low — early.

A live balance tells you where you are today. We go one step further and project where your spending is heading, so a shortfall is a conversation months out, not a shock at the till.

What this actually does
  • Tracks the pace you are spending in each support category.
  • Projects when a category is likely to run short if nothing changes.
  • Raises a calm, early heads-up so you have time to plan or adjust.
Where we are honest about the limits

This is an estimate based on your own spending pattern — not the official NDIA balance, and never a guarantee. Your circumstances can change, and so can the projection. It is there to give you time to think, not to make the decision for you.

Knowing who you are paying

We stay aware of provider registration and enforcement.

A provider’s standing can change. We keep an eye on registration status and publicly available NDIS Commission enforcement information, so a red flag does not slip past unnoticed.

What this actually does
  • Checks provider registration status where it is relevant to how you are paying them.
  • Watches publicly available NDIS Commission enforcement and banning information.
  • Surfaces anything that deserves a second look — calmly, with context.
Where we are honest about the limits

Public registers lag real life. A clean record is not proof a provider is right for you, and the absence of an enforcement notice is not a guarantee of safety. This awareness informs your choice — it never replaces it.

A person always decides

The intelligence flags. A human decides.

Software is very good at noticing patterns and never getting tired. It is not good at judgement, context or your life. So we keep a person on the loop for anything that matters.

What this actually does
  • The system surfaces flags, patterns and projections — it does the watching.
  • A member of our team reviews anything higher-risk before it is actioned.
  • You can always talk to that person. No script, no call-centre maze.
Where we are honest about the limits

We are deliberately not “fully autonomous”. Nothing high-risk is auto-approved or auto-rejected by a machine alone. That is slower than pure automation on purpose — because your plan is not the place to let a computer have the final word.

Why we publish the limits

A safeguard you can’t question isn’t a safeguard. It’s a claim.

Anyone can say they “protect” your plan. We would rather show you where our checks are strong, where they need your knowledge to work, and where a human has to make the call. You are managing real money for a real life. You deserve to know exactly what is watching it — and what isn’t.

Want this watching your plan?

Plan management is free to you — the NDIA funds it from your plan. The protection comes as standard.
