FAQs about NDIS Plan Management in Sydney
Who is liable for paying my old invoices if I change the plan manager?
When you switch plan managers, the responsibility for managing your plan, including the payment of any old invoices, transfers to the new plan manager.

If a plan manager receives an invoice from a provider but there are insufficient funds to pay it, who is accountable?
