Circumstances can change and sometimes that means how we support ourselves needs to change too. If you receive NDIS funding, this can mean requesting a reassessment of your NDIS plan.
When is a reassessment recommended?
Reassessment of your plan is recommended if you have experienced changes in any of the following areas:
- the impact of your disability on your life
- a new life stage
- living arrangements
- caring supports.
How can I request a reassessment?
You can request a reassessment at any time if your circumstances change.
To do this, contact the NDIS on 1800 800 110 or complete a change of details or change of situation form. This could result in a plan variation or plan reassessment.
In some circumstances, the NDIS reaches out a few months before the end of an individual’s plan for a ‘participant check-in’. You can alert the NDIS of your need for a plan reassessment at this time too.
What happens if I have requested a reassessment?
The NDIS will respond to your request for a plan reassessment within 21 days by either:
- varying your plan
- replacing your plan with a new plan
-
making a decision not to reassess your plan.
Is there further support available to assist me with my request for reassessment?
