Your plan review isn't a test — it's an opportunity. It's the moment to reflect on what's working, what's changed, and what you want to achieve next. A little preparation makes an enormous difference to the outcome.
Reflect on your goals
Start by revisiting the goals in your current plan. Which did you reach? Which shifted? Life changes, and your plan should change with it.
- What progress have you made this year?
- What new goals do you want funded?
- What supports helped most — and which didn't?
Gather your evidence
The NDIA makes decisions based on evidence, so bring it. Reports from your therapists, letters from your GP and notes on your daily support paint a clear picture of what's reasonable and necessary.
- Current therapy and progress reports
- Assessments of your functional capacity
- Notes on any changes in your health or circumstances
If you take one thing to a review, make it evidence. Goals explain the why; evidence proves the need.
Lean on your coordinator
A Support Coordinator can compile a progress report, help you articulate your goals and prepare you for the conversation. You don't have to walk in alone — and you shouldn't have to.
Speak up for what you need
Finally, be honest about what daily life actually requires. Under-asking is one of the most common reasons plans fall short. Describe a real day, name the gaps, and let the evidence do the rest.
