Why Early Support Matters: NDIS Insights for Young Participants and Families
Recent statistics from the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) show that more than 1 in 3 NDIS participants are under the age of 18. This figure reflects a significant shift — and a growing recognition — of the importance of early support, tailored services, and effective plan management for young people living with disability.
Why early intervention matters
Early access to support can make a world of difference in a child’s development. With the right therapies, tools, and guidance, children can build stronger communication skills, improve mobility, increase independence, and engage more confidently in everyday activities.
But while the NDIS opens the door to these services, many families quickly realise that navigating the system can be overwhelming — from understanding your budget, managing invoices, and staying on top of plan goals.
That’s where we come in
At Platypus Plan Management, we believe in simplifying the process and empowering families to focus on what truly matters: supporting their child’s growth and wellbeing.
Whether you’re brand new to the NDIS or reviewing your child’s second or third plan, our team is here to:
- Take care of the admin so you don’t have to
- Make prompt payments to your chosen providers
- Provide easy-to-understand budget tracking
- Offer personalised guidance every step of the way
We know every family is different, and we take the time to listen, understand your needs, and work with you to get the most from your plan.
You’re not alone in this
With over 660,000 Australians now supported by the NDIS, it’s more important than ever to have a trusted plan manager by your side. We’re proud to be part of your team — helping make the system work for you, not against you.
