If your NDIS plan is on PACE (the NDIA’s new computer system), there's a new process for choosing a plan manager that you need to know about.

You must now endorse your chosen plan manager, which simply means telling the NDIA who you are selecting to manage your plan.

Don’t worry, it’s a straightforward process, and we've got a comprehensive guide to endorsing Blitzit Plan Manager to assist you!

Whichever endorsing option you choose, make sure to follow these tips:

Important information for support coordinators

Endorsement can only be done by the participant, their nominee, or their guardian. As a support coordinator, you cannot endorse providers on your participant's behalf.

If your participant would like to have their plan managed by a provider such as Blitzit Plan Manager, they must now endorse them, which simply means informing the NDIA who you are choosing to manage their plan.
