Get Ready for Your NDIS Plan Review

Understand the purpose, then prepare early

Your NDIS plan review is an opportunity to check whether the supports and funding in your plan are still helping you live toward your goals. It usually happens at a set time (for example, every 12 months, or at a different period agreed in your plan). A good review is not only about what you have received, but also about what has changed in your life and what outcomes you still want to achieve. If your needs have increased, decreased, or changed type, your plan may be updated.

Start by looking at your current plan and thinking about progress. Consider questions like: Are the supports being delivered consistently? Are they helping you meet the goals in your plan? Have any barriers gotten worse (for example, health changes, carer changes, living situation, or access issues)?

To prepare, gather information from different sources. This could include your own notes, reports from your support providers, and input from people who understand your day-to-day needs. When you can, aim for specific examples rather than general statements.

Key takeaway: The best plan reviews clearly connect supports to outcomes—what you want to do, what is working, and what needs to change.

• Review your goals and outcomes: list what you achieved and what is still hard.
• Check your current supports: do you get them when you need them?
• Identify changes: health, supports, environment, or informal help.
• Collect evidence: provider updates, appointment summaries, incident notes, and progress notes.
