An NDIS plan reassessment is your chance to ensure your supports still match your needs, goals, and daily life. Being prepared helps you communicate clearly and reduces the risk of important details being missed. It’s also a perfect time to consider NDIS Plan Management, because the way your plan is managed can directly affect how smoothly your supports run and how confidently you can talk about your funding in a reassessment meeting. In general, a full plan reassessment is more likely when your circumstances have changed significantly, such as a change in how your disability impacts daily life, a major life stage change, or a significant change in living arrangements.
Arriving with relevant documents and clear examples strengthens your request for supports. Bring up-to-date reports or letters from allied health professionals, medical practitioners, and current providers that explain your functional capacity, support needs, risks, and progress over time. To strengthen your evidence, you can also bring budget information, what has been used, what is remaining, and whether your funding lasted as expected. If you have a plan manager, they can provide clear, up-to-date spending
summaries and itemised records that make these discussions easier and more evidence-based. Avoid attending the plan reassessment meeting without documentation or assuming your current supports will automatically continue. Avoid agreeing to plan changes or recommendations you do not fully understand. If terminology, funding categories, or proposed adjustments are unclear, request an explanation and ask how these changes may affect your ability to access NDIS support and services. Preparing questions in advance ensures you leave the meeting with clarity.
Ask whether your current plan budget and support categories have been used as intended and whether they reflect your actual needs. Confirm that your goals are clearly documented and that each funded support is appropriately linked to those goals. If your needs have increased or changed, ask what evidence is required to request additional supports. It can also be helpful to ask about flexibility within your plan, including how funds may be used across supports and whether plan management, support coordination, or specific capacity-building supports could improve outcomes.
