Frequently asked questions
Is Zest Care NDIS registered?
Yes. Zest Care 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 Zest Care cost?
By NDIS regulation, plan management fees are paid from a dedicated Improved Life Choices line item in your plan. You do not pay Zest Care directly — there is no out-of-pocket cost to participants.
Does Zest Care operate in New South Wales?
Zest Care is based in New South Wales. Most plan management is handled remotely via phone, email and online systems, so they can support participants across multiple locations.
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. Zest Care can assist with the transition process.
