What's the difference between Independent Support Management and Kismet?

Independent Support Management is part of Kismet Healthcare - Australia's leading NDIS Plan Management group. Kismet Healthcare has multiple Plan Management brands operating throughout Australia. We provide exceptional service to our Participants, and the fastest, safest and most reliable invoice processing for Providers. We have built NDIS specific technology, for Participants, their Nominees that will help you stay in control while removing the administrative burden of managing your NDIS plan.

Now, you can choose to register with Independent Support Management or Kismet Healthcare, either way, your plan is managed by the same Independent Support Management team on the same Kismet platform.
