You should contact your Support Coordinator if you have one. If you do not or are unsure you can contact your Plan Manager who will be able to assist and explain where funds are being spent and also contact your Local Area Coordinator who can assist you with the process moving forward for more funding or how to better utilise this.
This will depend on your NDIS plan. Some plans can be Plan Managed, which means you have funding for a Plan Manager to enter and pay your invoices under NDIS. Some plans will also be self-managed, which means you will need to enter and pay invoices yourself or NDIA Managed, which means you can only use a NDIA registered Provider specifically for that funding and they will draw this money down directly. Sometimes plans can be both – check with your Local Area Coordinator or Support Coordinator if you are unsure.
