Managing and reviewing a plan
Preparing for a Plan Reassessment
Considers whether your current plan still reflects your needs, and whether you need more, less or different supports.
Review your current plan
What worked, what did not, and whether your needs have changed.
Gather evidence early
Current reports and service information help explain the supports you need.
Think about the future
Changes you expect in your life, living situation, work, study or informal supports.

What is a plan reassessment?
Used when the NDIA needs to consider broader changes — at your reassessment date, when circumstances change significantly, when the plan no longer meets your needs, or when the NDIA decides one is required. The outcome may be a new plan, a variation, or no change.
Your check in
Your my NDIS contact may arrange a check in before the reassessment date, to discuss how the plan is working, whether supports meet your needs, progress towards goals, and what may change. You can ask for a summary.
Review your current plan
Look at your goals, funded supports, remaining funding, funding periods, providers, supports you used regularly, supports you did not use, supports that were unavailable, and services that did or did not achieve what was expected.
Unused funding does not mean unnecessary support
There may have been provider shortages, waiting lists, illness or other barriers. Try to understand why funding was not used — that explanation matters at reassessment.
What a good report should explain
- Who prepared it and their qualifications
- How long they have worked with you
- Your disability related functional needs
- The support provided during the current plan and the outcomes
- Any barriers or risks identified
- The support recommended next, how often and for how long
- How it relates to your goals and disability
- What may happen if the support is not provided
Do not wait if things have already changed
You do not need to wait for the scheduled date if your plan no longer meets your needs. Contact your my NDIS contact and explain what has changed.
SCL Support Services
What SCL can help with
SCL may provide:
- A summary of current SCL services
- Copies of support schedules and Service Agreements
- Information about attendance and service delivery
- Relevant progress information
- Records of incidents or identified risks
- Information about changes observed during support
- A quote for proposed SCL services
SCL cannot prepare medical or allied health evidence unless an appropriately qualified SCL professional is engaged to provide that service.
