Reviewing Your NDIS Plan

Now that the NDIS is fully rolled out, many NDIS participants are now going through the plan review process.

The good news is that there will be less questions this time around but just like the first meeting, the more time you spend preparing the better the outcome will be.

Getting Ready for your NDIS Plan Review

The best place to start is by looking at the goals you had in your original plan.

What goals have you achieved in the last 12 months?

To continue the same level of funding in your second plan, you will need to be able to tell your Local Area Coordinator (LAC) or NDIA Planner what goals are working well and how the funding you received was essential to your success.

What goals haven’t quite worked out?

What are some of the reasons your goal didn’t go to plan? Did you need more funding? Was your funding allocated to the right areas?

What are your goals for the next 12 months?

Now you have looked at past goals, it is time to plan your future goals. Some questions to ask yourself are:

  • What goals remain the same?
  • Do I have new goals for employment?
  • Is there a new skill I would like to learn?
  • Has my housing situation changed?
  • What about my social life? Would I like to access the community more or have the opportunity to build more friendships?
  • Do I have adequate access to the transport I need to achieve my goals?
