Plan management types that work with our psychologists
| Management type | Can you use this site? | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Self-managed | Yes — choose any psychologist listed | Pay and claim reimbursement, or ask the psychologist to invoice you |
| Plan-managed | Yes — your plan manager handles payment | Provide your plan manager's details to the psychologist |
| NDIA-managed | Only if the psychologist is NDIA-registered | NDIA-managed means the NDIA pays the psychologist directly, but only if the psychologist is registered with the NDIA. Many psychologists are not NDIA-registered — check before booking |
When you book, tell the psychologist you are an NDIS participant and confirm your plan management type.
📋 If you are self-managed or plan-managed, you can choose any psychologist on this site. If you are NDIA-managed, you can only use psychologists who are registered with the NDIA — check with the psychologist before booking whether they are NDIA-registered.
