We understand your situation or details may change, or you may want to ask for a plan reassessment. 

It’s important you let us know if your situation changes or you need to update your details, because it might affect: 

  • your plan
  • whether you’re still eligible for the NDIS.

You must also let us know if something will change in the future. Changes don’t always mean we’ll do a plan reassessment. But you must still let us know about changes as soon as you reasonably can.

What changes should you tell us about? 

The changes you should tell us about include:

  • your contact details, such as your address, phone number or email
  • the support your family and friends provide
  • if there are changes to the functional impact of your disability, meaning you might need more or less support
  • you’re starting a new job and need new or different support at work
  • you’re going overseas for a long period of time, or you’re moving overseas
  • you’re moving out of residential accommodation or aged care, and you need different support in your new home
  • you receive or claim compensation for an accident or illness related to your disability.

Our Guidelines, ‘Your Plan ’ has information about when you need to tell us about changes in your life and when you can request a plan reassessment.
