Yes. You can request changes to your NDIS plan before it ends if your situation shifts. This process is called a plan review (or plan reassessment) and it helps ensure your supports stay aligned with your goals and needs.
When can you ask for a plan change?
- Your support needs have changed significantly.
- Your current funding no longer meets your goals.
- Your circumstances have changed (moving house, employment changes, new diagnosis).
- You need a support that isn’t in your current plan.
- You believe there’s an error in your plan.

Types of plan reviews
Plan reassessment (full review)
A comprehensive review of goals, supports, and funding across your plan.
Light touch review
A minor adjustment without a full reassessment—useful for small funding or service changes.
How to request a change
- Contact the NDIS: Call 1800 800 110 or speak to your Local Area Coordinator (LAC).
- Provide evidence: Attach recent reports or letters from therapists and health professionals.
- Explain the need: Clearly outline what’s changed and how the adjustment supports your plan goals.
Tips for a successful review
- Document everything: Keep notes on daily challenges, missed supports, and changes in function.
- Get professional input: Therapy reports and assessments strengthen your request.
- Link to your goals: Show how the change helps you achieve outcomes in your plan.
- Ask early: Don’t wait until funds are nearly exhausted.
