NDIS provider bookkeeping for Brisbane businesses

Payments reach an NDIS provider by different routes, depending on who manages each participant's funding. Every payment is matched to the claim or invoice behind it, whether it comes from the NDIA, a plan manager or a participant paying you directly.

Matching payments, whoever manages the funding

  • Agency-managed participants

    When the NDIA manages a participant's funding, you claim from the NDIA and it pays you, and a single deposit can cover several claims. We use the payment details to work out which claim each part pays.

  • Plan-managed participants

    A plan manager pays your invoices on the participant's behalf. We use the remittance they send to apply each payment to the right invoices, and list any that are paid short or not at all.

  • Self-managed participants

    Participants who manage their own funding pay you directly. We match those deposits to your invoices by reference or amount, and check with you on deposits we can't place.

Questions from NDIS providers in Greater Brisbane

A payment came in short. What do you do?
We match the part that was paid, leave the rest showing as owing, and tell you which claim or invoice it relates to, so you can follow it up with whoever paid.
How do you know which plan manager a deposit came from?
Usually from the bank reference and the remittance the plan manager sends. Where a deposit doesn't say, we ask you rather than guess.
A participant moved from self-managed to plan-managed. What changes?
Who pays you, not how we match. From the change, payments come from the plan manager and we match them to your invoices the same way, noting any invoice still open with the participant.
Will you check our claim amounts against NDIS prices?
No. We don't advise on NDIS pricing. We record the amounts you've invoiced or claimed and match payments against them; for price limits, look to the pricing arrangements the NDIS publishes.
Can you show how much came through each route?
Yes, if you'd like it. We can record income by whether the participant is agency-managed, plan-managed or self-managed, so you can see what each route brought in.
