Frequently asked questions
Is BudgetNet NDIS registered?
Yes. BudgetNet is registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission as an approved plan management provider. You can verify their registration at the official NDIS provider finder.
How much does plan management through BudgetNet cost?
By NDIS regulation, plan management fees are paid from a dedicated Improved Life Choices line item in your plan. You do not pay BudgetNet directly — there is no out-of-pocket cost to participants.
Does BudgetNet operate nationally?
Yes. BudgetNet provides plan management services to NDIS participants across all Australian states and territories.
Can I switch to a different plan manager?
Yes. Switching plan managers is free and does not require an NDIS plan review. You can change at any time by providing written notice to your current provider, then signing with your new plan manager. BudgetNet can assist with the transition process.
