What to Expect at Your Plan Review
Plan reviews are a normal part of the NDIS — your opportunity to ensure your Life Stage Transition supports remain aligned with your goals.
Review Your Progress
Measure progress against your personal transition goals, explore new goals, and identify any changes in your life circumstances since your last plan.
Update Your Supports
Provide feedback on what supports are working, request changes to your funding, and ensure your plan reflects your current transition needs and stage of life.
Set New Goals
Set new personal transition goals that build on your previous achievements — whether related to employment, accommodation, or community connection.
Review Timing
Plan reviews may be scheduled up to two years apart. Your NDIS representative will ensure you're comfortable with the timing and given adequate time to achieve your goals.
Children (0–6 Years)
For children up to six years of age, most plan reviews are conducted by your Early Childhood Early Intervention Partner in collaboration with your family.
Ages 7–65 Years
For people aged 7 to 65, plan reviews are conducted by a Local Area Coordinator or an NDIS planner, depending on your situation and location.
How to Access the NDIS
To become an NDIS participant, you must have a permanent and significant disability or developmental delay, be of a certain age when you first apply, live in Australia, and be an Australian citizen or hold a permanent visa or protected Special Category visa.
