Critically reviewing your NDIS plan is essential to ensure it meets your current needs and goals, and sets you up well for the future. Here are top tips to guide you through a future-focused, critical review
✅ 1. Reflect on What Worked and What Didn’t
• Ask yourself:
• Did I use all the funding available? If not, why?
• Were the supports I received effective?
• Did I reach any of my goals?
✅ 2. Review Your Goals – Are They Still Relevant?
• Update your goals to reflect new priorities (e.g. employment, independence, social engagement).
• Consider:
• Have your circumstances changed?
• Do you want to focus on different skills or achievements?
✅ 3. Track Your Progress with Evidence
• Keep a support log: what services were used, when, and how they helped.
• Collect reports from:
• Therapists (OT, speech, psych)
• Support coordinators
• Allied health professionals
✅ 4. Consider What You’ll Need in the Next 12–24 Months
• Think about anticipated life changes:
• School transitions
• Moving house
• Starting work or study
• Increased mobility or independence goals
• Plan for:
• Assistive technology
• New therapies
• Support coordination
