Yes, a plan manager should provide regular reports and statements to you and your nominated support. 

When a plan manager has identified overspend or underspend, the plan manager should advise you as soon as possible, regardless of reporting frequency. 

Plan managers should work with you to reduce any potential for plan overspend. This will involve regular reporting of plan managed budgets as outlined in the NDIS Guide to Plan Management. 

Your plan manager should discuss with you effective and efficient ways to utilise approved funds. 

If your NDIS plan funds are being spent faster than anticipated and there is a risk that funds will be exhausted before your next review, your plan manager should discuss this with you. 

From 1 July 2020, plan managers can claim for supports not delivered in person. This includes travel costs incurred to deliver supports.

More information is in the Price Guide and Support Catalogue 2020–21.
