Service Agreement

Purpose of This Agreement
This agreement is between the Provider, Bay Plan Management Pty Ltd ABN: 81 646 486 768 and the Participant or Participant Nominee. This Service Agreement outlines how Plan Management services will be delivered, the responsibilities of both parties, and the expectations for communication and conduct. It ensures transparency, safety, and compliance with the NDIS Code of Conduct. This Service Agreement is continuous until notified in writing.
Services We Will Provide
This Service Agreement is made for the purpose of providing plan management supports under the participant’s NDIS plan. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement operates within the framework of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which aims to:
- support the independence, social participation, and economic participation of people with disability, and
- enable people with disability to exercise choice and control in pursuing their goals and in the planning and delivery of their supports.
The participant has nominated the Provider to manage the funding for supports delivered under their NDIS plan. After supports are delivered, service providers will submit invoices to the Provider, who will process and pay these invoices in a timely manner.
Invoices will generally be paid as received. However, if an invoice appears unusual or inconsistent with the participant’s plan, the participant gives the Provider permission to contact the service provider, the participant, or the NDIA to seek clarification before payment is made. All other invoices will be processed in good faith, respecting the participant’s choice and control.
The participant or their representative can view monthly statements, including expenditure and remaining balances, through the Careview Advantage app. This information is updated daily.
If the participant is unable to access Careview, they may request that monthly statements be emailed or posted to them.
Your Responsibilities
The participant or participant’s representative agrees to provide accurate and up‑to‑date information necessary for the delivery of Plan Management services and to inform the Provider of how they wish their supports to be delivered so that the participant’s needs are met. The participant will ensure that all supports received are consistent with their current NDIS plan and will use their NDIS funding responsibly and in accordance with NDIS rules, price limits, and legislative requirements.
The participant agrees to communicate openly with the Provider, including raising any concerns or discrepancies regarding supports or invoices. When requested, the participant will promptly review and approve invoices or provide service delivery evidence to confirm that supports have been received.
The participant or their representative will treat the Provider with courtesy and respect and will provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice if they are unable to attend a scheduled appointment. Where adequate notice is not provided, the Provider’s cancellation policy may apply.
If the participant wishes to end this Service Agreement, they agree to provide the required 30 days’ notice. The participant also agrees to notify the Provider immediately if their NDIS plan is suspended, replaced, or if they cease to be a participant in the NDIS.
To support the accurate and timely management of their plan, the participant gives the Provider permission to contact the NDIA on their behalf when clarification or verification is required.
Responsibilities of the Providers
The Provider agrees to deliver supports in a manner that upholds the participant’s rights, promotes choice and control, and complies with all relevant NDIS and legislative requirements. The Provider will deliver supports that meet the participant’s needs at the times agreed between both parties. The Provider will communicate openly, honestly, and in a timely manner, and will treat the participant with courtesy, dignity, and respect at all times.
The Provider will ensure the participant is given clear information about how to make a complaint or raise a concern, including details of the Provider’s cancellation process. The Provider will listen to the participant’s feedback and work to resolve any issues promptly.
The Provider will protect the participant’s privacy and maintain the confidentiality of all personal information. All supports will be delivered in accordance with relevant laws, including the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013, associated NDIS rules, and the Australian Consumer Law.
