Once you're accepted into the NDIS, planning is how your funding takes shape.

You'll meet with an NDIA planner (or your local NDIS partner) who works with you to build a plan around your goals. They'll ask about what you want to achieve and the supports you need to get there. Once your plan is approved, you choose your providers, set up service agreements where needed and start using your funding.

Plans run for a set period - often 12 months, though longer plans are becoming more common when your situation is stable. Before your plan ends, you'll have a check-in or reassessment to look at what worked and what needs to change.

The single biggest thing you can do for a great plan? Walk into the meeting prepared. Our free preplanning tool helps you get your goals and evidence sorted, or email hello@providerchoice.com.au and we'll help you get ready.
