Does it ever feel like you’re navigating the NDIS all by yourself?
At are-able, we’ve been supporting people with disabilities, and their carers, since 1989.
As a registered NDIS service provider, we understand your Plan Management needs better than anyone, and we’ll work with you – one-on-one – to offer personalised, friendly and consistent support.
are-able Plan Management
are-able Plan Management helps you manage the funding you receive from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). That funding can help you access the supports and services you need to achieve your goals and live an independent life.
One of the key roles of Plan Management is to process the claims from services you use, and manage your plan funding. Our dedicated Claims Team are committed to processing claims within five business days and pride themselves on building good relationships with local providers.
But it’s important to understand, we’re more than just a financial go-between.
We take the time to get to know you. We help you understand your NDIS plan funding, and what it can be used for. And we keep in touch at important times throughout the life of your plan.
are-able keeps you informed of your funding balance and gives you access to a real-time portal. So you’re always in control of your funding.
We pride ourselves on our dedicated team of Intake and Engagement staff. They offer one-on-one support, so you never feel like you’re dealing with a call centre. The idea is that you, and your team of providers and Support Coordination staff, all work together.
