When Do Reviews Happen?
Your NDIS plan is typically reviewed every 12 months. However, you can request an earlier review if your circumstances change significantly or your current supports are no longer meeting your needs.
Important: The NDIS will contact you before your plan end date to schedule a review meeting.
Preparing for Your Review
Being well-prepared for your plan review helps ensure you get the supports you need. Here's what to gather:
Progress on Goals
Document what goals you've achieved and what you're still working on
Changes in Circumstances
Note any changes in your health, living situation, or support needs
Service Provider Reports
Collect progress reports from your support providers
Updated Medical Evidence
Gather recent reports from healthcare professionals
During the Review Meeting
Your review meeting is an opportunity to discuss what's working and what needs to change. Be prepared to talk about:
- •Your progress towards current goals
- •New goals you want to set
- •Changes in your support needs
- •What's working well and what isn't
- •Any new supports you'd like to access
Tip: You can bring a support person, advocate, or family member to your review meeting.

- 1.Assess the information discussed and any new evidence provided
- 2.Make decisions about your ongoing or new supports
- 3.Send you your new plan, usually within a few weeks
