Reviewing your NDIS Plan
Check in. Reflect. Plan ahead.
Your NDIS plan isn’t set in stone – it’s meant to grow and change with you. Reviews are a regular part of the process and give you the chance to look back on what’s working, what’s not, and what you might need next.
We help people prepare for their plan reviews every day. Whether you’ve had a good experience or found the NDIS tricky to navigate, this is your opportunity to speak up and shape the support you receive moving forward. We’re here to help you make it count.


Meeting your goals
Your NDIS plan is based on goals you set – big or small. During your review, you’ll be asked about your progress and whether your goals have changed.
This is your chance to ask for more of what you need or to adjust the direction if your situation has shifted. Maybe you want to focus more on independence, community involvement, or just getting better support day to day. We can help you put it into words.

Overview of funding categories
NDIS plans are split into three main areas:
- Core Supports – Help with everyday activities and personal care
- Capacity Building – Building independence or accessing therapies
- Capital Supports – Assistive tech, home modifications, or equipment
Understanding what you’ve been funded for – and what you might need more of – can help shape a more useful plan for the next 12 months.

Introducing your Support Coordinator
Support Coordination is a specific NDIS-funded service that provides funding for someone with strong experience in understanding and implementing NDIS plans. A Support Coordinator can help you find great service providers and can support you with plan reviews – preparing for your meeting, gathering reports and articulating your goals and needs with the NDIS planner.
Choosing the right Disability Services
We offer a wide range of services that might align with your new or existing goals.

When do NDIS plan reviews happen?
Now referred to as reassessments, they happen every one to three years, but this can vary depending on your goals, support needs, or if something in your life has changed. You can also request an early review if needed.
There are a few reasons why a reassessment might take place:
- A regular plan reassessment (or “check-in”) that happens when your current plan is due to finish.
- An internal review – if you don’t agree with a decision made about your plan.
- A change in your circumstances – like moving house or a change in support needs
What should I bring to a review meeting and what happens if I forget something during the meeting?
Information you need for your plan reassessment include any medical reports, therapy assessments, or recommendations from healthcare professionals. You can also bring someone you trust for support.
Try to write down your thoughts beforehand, and if something is missed, you can still follow up after the meeting to clarify or add more info.
Who decides what’s in my new plan?
An NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) works with you to build your new plan, based on the info you provide and your current situation.
Can I ask for changes to my supports during a review?
Yes – this is exactly the time to speak up about what’s working and what’s not. You can ask for new supports or different types of help.
Can My Supports help me get ready for a review and do I need a Support Coordinator to go through this process?
Absolutely. We can help you prepare, gather the right documents, and even attend the meeting with you if you’d like.
Having a Support Coordinator during a review helps, but it’s not essential. If you don’t have a Support Coordinator, one of NTLs may be able to help you get the support you need.
What if my plan passes its reassessment date?
If your plan reaches its reassessment date and a new plan isn’t ready yet, the NDIS will usually automatically extend your current plan – so you won’t be left without supports. Most plans are extended by 12 months, and funding will continue (including for SIL and SDA where needed).
You can keep using your plan as usual while waiting for your reassessment. It’s a good idea to check the NDIS myplace portal for updates and let your providers know if your plan has been extended – they’ll still be able to claim for services.
