How we help

Three things a good plan manager should do — and we do them well.

Plan management is mostly invoices, records, and timely answers. We've built Future Forward Planning around doing those three things carefully.

01

Pay providers, promptly

Forward an invoice and we handle claims with the NDIA and pay providers within two business days. You'll see every payment as it happens.

02

Keep your budget visible

A clear monthly statement, live category balances, and a simple projection so you know whether you're on pace — not only when a review comes up.

03

Answer when you call

A named plan manager who knows your situation. No ticket queues, no bouncing between agents. Phone or email during business hours.

The basics

What is NDIS plan management?

Plan management is a funded support under your NDIS plan. A plan manager sits between you and your providers — we claim from the NDIA, pay invoices, and keep your records — while you keep full choice over who you work with.

It's free for participants. When your plan is built, ask your planner to include “Improved Life Choices” (the category that funds plan management) and you can choose Future Forward Planning — or switch to us at any time.

What's included

  • Claim and pay invoices from any registered or unregistered provider
  • Monthly statements plus real-time balances by category
  • A named plan manager, reachable by phone or email
  • Help reading your plan and understanding your categories
  • Reminders before your plan review so nothing is rushed
  • Secure record-keeping for audits and reassessments
About us

Independent, local, and built for the long haul.

Future Forward Planning is run by Saran Likitkunawong, a Chartered Accountant (CA ANZ) based in Melbourne. After years working with small businesses on the financial controls and reporting that keep them honest, the decision to build a plan management practice came from a simple observation: the discipline that good accountants bring to record-keeping and reconciliation is exactly what NDIS participants need from a plan manager.

We're deliberately small. Every participant has a single, named point of contact — not a ticket queue — and a portal that shows the same numbers we're looking at. No black-box dashboards, no surprise statements, and no “your invoice is in the system somewhere” phone calls. If we approve it, you see it. If we hold it, you see why.
