It's your chance to reflect on what's working, update your goals, and make the case for the support you need. Preparing well makes a real difference to the outcome. This guide walks you calmly through how a reassessment works and how to get ready.

Frequently asked questions
What is an NDIS plan reassessment?
It's the process where the NDIA works with you to build your next plan, updating your goals and funding. It was previously called a plan review. It's different from an internal review, which challenges a decision you disagree with rather than creating a new plan.
How do I prepare for my NDIS plan reassessment?
Reflect on what worked in your current plan, update your goals, review your spending, and gather current evidence such as allied health reports and letters from treating professionals. Prepare a clear picture of your typical week, and bring a support person or advocate if you'd like one.
Can I get a reassessment before my plan ends?
Yes. If your circumstances have changed or your needs have grown, you can request an early reassessment, once called a section 48 review. You don't have to wait for the scheduled date. The guide on requesting a review of your plan explains how to ask.
What if I disagree with my new plan?
A reassessment creates a new plan, but if it doesn't reflect your needs you can request an internal review of the decision under section 100 within three months. That's a separate process from the reassessment, and if still unresolved you can appeal to the ART.
