About us

Living Plan Management was established by Vanessa following the birth of her daughter Olivia/Liv who has Down syndrome.

Liv is sweet, cheeky, determined and brings immense joy to those around her but her unexpected diagnosis propelled Vanessa on a steep learning journey about disability, inclusion, advocacy and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Vanessa has over 20 years experience in financial services, holds a Masters of Commerce (Financial Planning) and is a Certified Financial Planner. She has bookkeeping experience and is a member of Bookkeepers Association of Australia.

The combination of Vanessa’s expertise in financial management and lived experience of the NDIS gives her a unique perspective to support parents manage their children’s NDIS plans.

Vanessa and her family love everything that the lake, beach and their vibrant local community have to offer.

Our why

Parenting a child with disability can bring a whole lot of extra…extra joy, extra love, extra celebrations when milestones are reached but also extra challenges and more to do (on top of the busy modern parenting load).

Juggling therapy, medical appointments, education consults, continuously searching for the best supports and advocating for your child can sometimes be a lot. Whilst not all of those tasks can be delegated, managing the financial aspects of your child’s NDIS plan is one thing you DON’T have to do.

We deliver high quality NDIS plan management services so you have more time to focus on the things that really matter… because life is for living.
