With a self-managed package, you’re in full control. You decide who provides your care, how it’s delivered, and when. You can choose your own care workers or use any provider that aligns with your needs — even those not on your provider’s network. Plus, you manage your own budget, approve invoices, and often benefit from lower admin fees, meaning more of your funding goes directly to your care.
Self-managing gives you the flexibility to hire your own staff, negotiate rates, and customise services to fit your daily routine. But it also comes with more responsibility — you’ll need to handle paperwork, payments, and compliance yourself, or find someone to help you do it.
On the other hand, a provider-managed package takes the weight off your shoulders. Your provider coordinates services, manages your budget, hires staff, and takes care of all the admin and compliance. It’s ideal if you prefer a hands-off approach and want professional support every step of the way — though keep in mind, this comes with higher fees and less flexibility in who delivers your care.
✨ So, what’s right for you?
Choose self-management if you’re independent and want maximum choice.
Opt for provider management if you prefer convenience and expert support.
