“The National Disability Insurance Scheme is rolling out across Australia and will ultimately support 460,000 people with disability with individualised funding packages worth $22 billion annually,” Leap in! co-founder Andrew Kiel said.

“This reform promises unprecedented opportunities for independence, social and economic participation.

“However, a major obstacle to the success of the NDIS is that individuals and providers are challenged by the shift to a system which is based on the participant having complete choice and control of how their NDIS funds are spent.”

That’s where Leap swings into action. So how does it work? Leap in! is a plan manager, which is recognised as one of in! the three options for a participant to manage their NDIS plan budget.

There is no cost to NDIS participants to have a plan manager, they simply need to request it in their plan meeting and an additional amount is added on top of their NDIS plan budget.

Plan managers provide flexibility and choice of supports provider and act like a personal accountant or bookkeeper.

The planning section of the app is aligned with NDIS annual planning process and requirements, streamlining the process for participants.

The app also provides transparency and a real time view of NDIS budgets, approvals and payments. To see the Leap in! app in action, download it free from your app store.
