An NDIS plan reassessment, also called a plan review, is when the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) checks whether your current supports still suit your needs and goals. It ensures your plan continues to work for you as your situation changes.
When Does a Plan Reassessment Happen?
A reassessment can take place in two ways:
1. Scheduled Review
Most NDIS plans run for 12 to 36 months. The reassessment date is set when your plan begins. The NDIA usually contacts you about three months before this date to start the process.
2. Participant Requested Review
You can ask for a reassessment at any time if your circumstances change. This may be because your support needs have increased or decreased, your disability has progressed or improved, your goals have changed, or your current supports are no longer suitable.
What Happens During the Reassessment?
A planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) will speak with you about several key areas:
-
The supports you currently receive and whether they are working
-
Your progress towards your goals
-
Any new goals or changes in your daily life
-
Supports you might need in the future
-
How you have been using your funding
You may need to provide updated reports from therapists, support coordinators or other professionals to support any funding changes.
What Happens After the Review?
Based on your discussion and any evidence provided, the NDIA will either update your current plan or create a new one with changes to your funding, goals or supports. You will receive a copy of the updated plan and can begin using the new funding immediately.
