Life can bring unexpected changes, and sometimes your NDIS plan needs to adapt to keep up. Whether you’re setting new goals, encountering new challenges, or just need to tweak your supports, Devoted Supports is here to help you navigate these changes.
How to Request a Change to Your Plan
If your circumstances have changed or you’re aiming for new goals, you can request changes to your plan at any time. It’s important to support your request with evidence, like medical reports or assessments from professionals, to help the process go smoothly.
Different Types of Plan Adjustments
- Plan Variation: Ideal for making small adjustments to your plan, such as updating your support details or correcting minor errors. These requests are processed quickly, and you’ll receive the updated plan within a week.
- Plan Reassessment: This involves a more detailed review of your plan and can be requested at any time or during your scheduled annual review. It’s an opportunity to ensure your plan still meets your needs and supports your goals.
Stay Connected with Participant Check-ins
The NDIA introduced check-ins during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure participants continued receiving the support they needed. These check-ins are now a regular feature, providing a chance to discuss how your plan is working, explore any needed adjustments, and check on your overall well-being.
Preparing for a Plan Reassessment
As your reassessment date approaches, it’s important to think about:
- What aspects of your plan have worked well.
- Areas where you faced challenges or where things didn’t go as planned.
- New goals you’re excited to work towards.
- Any life changes, such as starting a new job or moving to a new place.
- Concerns about how your plan is managed and whether you want to change how your funding is handled.
