How to Endorse a Plan Manager for Your NDIS Plan

If your NDIS plan is on the new PACE system, you need to endorse your plan manager. This just means you need to tell the NDIA who will manage your plan. Don’t worry, it’s easy! Here’s a simple guide to help you endorse Independent Support Management as your plan manager.

Quick Tips Before You Start

Whichever endorsing option you choose, make sure to follow these tips:

  • Choose Independent Support Management as your plan manager (not plan provider).
  • Use the start date of your current plan when endorsing (so we can handle all invoices from within your plan).
  • Confirm the endorsement with the person on the phone to ensure it’s done instantly.
