If your plan no longer fits, you don't have to wait it out, you can ask for it to change. There are two pathways, depending on how big the change is:

• Plan variation: for smaller changes that don't need the whole plan redone, like fixing an error or making a minor funding adjustment.
• Plan reassessment: for bigger changes, where the NDIA looks at your whole plan again. This is the path when your circumstances or support needs have significantly changed.

To get started, contact the NDIA on 1800 800 110 or follow the change of circumstances process. Be ready to explain what's changed and provide evidence where you can. Reports that show your changed needs do the heavy lifting.

If you're plan-managed with us, we can help you get your funding evidence together. Your spending history is often the clearest proof a plan isn't matching your needs. Email hello@providerchoice.com.au.
