When people become NDIS Participants, they have three options about how to manage their NDIS plan and funding. They can choose one or a combination of the these management options for different parts of their plan.

NONE of the options through NDIS is a Shared Management option in the way that Shared Management existed in some Australian States prior to the NDIS. The NDIS is unlikely to develop a Shared Management option to sit alongside these current management choices. This raises questions such as: How does Shared Management fit within the NDIS? If so, which management option is the best one to use? and Operationally and practically, how do you make it work?

This module addresses these three questions.
