Plan Management Service Agreement between Yumba Bimbi Support Services, and:(Required)

Agreement Start Date(Required)

Who is Yumba Bimbi

At YBSS, you will direct your support. We will work alongside you to identify your strengths, interests, and goals, providing just the right amount of support to allow you to live the life you choose. We treat support as a partnership. We will actively work with you to ensure a successful partnership. We work hard to ensure we employ only the best Plan Managers. You can be certain that your support will be provided by Plan Managers who share YBSS’s values. Your Plan Managers will be trained, including training specific to their role, ready to provide you with the quality of support YBSS is renowned for.

How do you like to give and receive information?

How YBSS will deliver your support may vary depending on your needs. Meetings and communication about your services can be provided face to face, via the telephone, email, virtual platform like Zoom or Teams or in your preferred method of communication.

Please let YBSS know if you have specific communication aids or if you or any of your support people need a translator. If you want to have these agreements in a different format, please let Yumba Bimbi know, and they can work with you to achieve this.

Conflict of Interest

As a registered provider of support under the NDIS, YBSS is responsible for managing conflicts of interest. YBSS will act in the best interests of NDIS participants, ensuring that they are informed, empowered and able to maximise choice and control. Staff members will not (by act or omission) constrain, influence or direct decision-making by a person with a disability and/or their family to limit that person’s access to information, opportunities, and choice and control.

NDIS participants will be presented with various choices about support providers, not only YBSS. Staff will not seek to influence participants to select YBSS for their services.

To help eliminate the conflict of interest that can occur in having more than one service with a provider, YBSS has created separate Service Agreements for each service. You will receive this Agreement and the relevant agreements for each service. If you want to change any of your services, YBSS can do this without impacting the others.

How do the agreements work?

This Agreement is made for the purpose of providing Plan Management services under the Participant’s NDIS plan. The parties agree that this Agreement is made in the context of the NDIS, which is a scheme that aims to:

Support the independence and social and economic participation of people with disability, and
Enable people with disability to exercise choice and control in the pursuit of their goals and the planning and delivery of their supports.

Ending your Service Agreements

This service agreement will continue with the procurement of future NDIS plans. The service agreement will automatically end when Capacity Building – Improved life choices is no longer funded for the participant

They will also contact relevant people to ensure you can arrange alternative services. If either you or YBSS seriously breaches this Agreement, the notice period will be waived.

Problem-solving, disputes and grievances

YBSS will listen to your feedback and nominate a person you can talk to if you have any concerns about your support and how YBSS delivers those supports to you.

We will discuss any concerns, disputes and grievances arising with you. We will resolve them quickly and fairly, so that you and YBSS are satisfied with the outcome.

If we cannot solve the problem together, YBSS has a Complaints Procedure that YBSS will follow. If you want a copy of this procedure, please let YBSS know.
