An NDIS plan review is your opportunity to show the NDIA what's working, what isn't, and what support you actually need going forward. Reviews that go smoothly tend to have one thing in common: preparation that starts weeks, not days, before the meeting.

What to gather beforehand

Progress against current goalsConcrete examples of what's changed since your last plan — skills gained, participation increased, or support needs that have grown.
Provider reports and progress notesAsk your support coordinator, SIL provider or therapists for a short written summary ahead of time — don't leave this to the week of the review.
Evidence for any new or increased supportsIf you're requesting something new, gather supporting evidence from a treating professional in advance — reviews move faster with evidence already attached.
A record of unmet needs or gapsNote anything your current plan didn't cover well — waitlists, unfunded supports, or goals you couldn't pursue due to funding limits.
Your goals for the next plan periodReviews aren't just about the past — come with a clear picture of what you want to work toward next.

On the day

Bring a support person if that helps — a family member, advocate or your support coordinator. It's completely normal to want a second person in the room, particularly for a longer or more complex review.

If your plan includes Supported Independent Living, your SIL provider's input on your Roster of Care and any changes to support needs is often directly relevant to the review — ask them for a written summary well ahead of time rather than at the last minute.

Finally, know that outcomes aren't always immediate. If a decision doesn't reflect what you asked for, you can request a review of that decision — the NDIS website outlines the internal review and appeal process.
