Summary

Through an NDIS plan reassessment, you can make necessary adjustments to your plan and funding to match your new objectives and needs. This process is vital, especially if your situation has changed or if you believe that your current plan is no longer aligned with your goals and conditions.

In simple terms, an NDIS plan reassessment is an opportunity to review your current plan and make sure it still matches up with your goals and circumstances. Maybe your needs have changed, or perhaps you’ve achieved some of your previous goals and want to set new ones.

Either way, a reassessment is your chance to make adjustments and ensure you’re getting the right support.

Typically, these reassessments can happen at the end of your current plan. If you do nothing, the NDIS looks at your plan and may just extend your plan for the same period with the same funding.  Alternatively, if they can see on your plan that you have a changing situation, they may opt to review your plan.

However, if something in your life has shifted — like your health, living situation, or the support you require — you can ask for a reassessment earlier. This flexibility ensures your plan can evolve as your life does.

When and How Does the Reassessment Happen?

Before your plan expires, someone from the NDIS will contact you (or your authorised representative) to arrange the reassessment.

This usually happens a couple of months before your plan’s renewal date, giving you time to prepare. They’ll also let you know if any specific documents or reports are needed for the meeting.

Your reassessment meeting can take place in a way that’s most comfortable for you: face-to-face, over the phone, or even via a video call. And you don’t have to do it alone!

You can invite a family member, friend, support coordinator, or any trusted person from your support network to join you.

The goal is to have a thorough and meaningful conversation about what’s working, what’s not, and what might need to change.

What Happens During the Reassessment?

This is your time to reflect and share how things have been going. Have the supports in your plan helped you move closer to your goals? Is there anything you feel needs adjusting or adding?

The conversation will revolve around your experience, ensuring that the new plan is better suited to your current needs.

It’s also a chance to discuss the goals you’re working towards. Maybe you want to continue with the same ones, or perhaps you have new objectives that you’d like your plan to support.

It’s all about creating a plan that empowers you to live the life you want, with the right kind of assistance behind you.

How Can You Prepare?

To make the most of your reassessment, a little preparation goes a long way.

Remember that a reassessment can go both ways. Your funding may be increased or decreased.

You might be asked to provide reports or assessments from your service providers or therapists, as these can give valuable insights into how your current plan is serving you.

Documentation from your service providers is of high value when discussing your situation with the NDIS.

It’s also helpful to think about your goals and how your plan has supported your progress.

Are there goals you’d like to keep working towards? Are there new challenges you’d like to address? Are these realistic for your situation? This is your moment to shape the plan that will guide the next phase of your NDIS journey.

And of course, managing your plan’s funding is a crucial aspect. Whether you’ve been managing the funding on your own, through a plan manager, or via the NDIS, now is a good time to revisit how it’s working for you.
