No, using a plan manager doesn’t reduce your NDIS funding. The NDIS covers plan management fees separately, so it doesn’t come out of your support budget.

When you ask for plan management at your planning meeting, the NDIA adds extra funding under the category Improved Life Choices (CB Choice and Control). That funding is specifically there to pay your plan manager. It’s not taken from the money you use for supports, therapies or services.
