 NDIS funding is the money you get from the NDIS for your services and supports.  There are different ways to look after your NDIS funding. At Thrive OT we work with participants that are self-managed and plan-managed. 

Plan managed means you can pay a plan manager to look after your NDIS funding for you. Thrive OT will send the invoice directly to your plan manager and they will process the payment for you.

 Self managed means you look after your NDIS funding yourself.  You can also choose which services you use.

 There are 2 ways you can pay with your NDIS funding. 

1. Payment request first 

 When you receive an invoice from Thrive OT, you ask the NDIS to give you money from your NDIS funding to pay for the support. You can ask through the NDIS portal. NDIS will put the money from your NDIS funding into your bank account. 

 You then pay for the support with the NDIS money from that bank account.  

2. Payment request after 

 When you receive an invoice from Thrive OT, you pay for the support with your own money. You then make a payment request to the NDIS to get your money back. They will put the money from your NDIS funding into your bank account.
