Preparing for your NDIS Plan Review can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure where to start or what to expect. You might be wondering whether your current supports still fits your goals, or if there’s something more that could help you live more independently and confidently.
At Skye’s the Limit Support Services, we understand that your NDIS journey is deeply personal. No two paths are the same, and your plan should reflect your growth, evolving needs, and the life you’re building for yourself.
That’s why we’ve created this step-by-step guide to help you prepare. In it, you’ll find 10 meaningful questions to ask before your next plan review, designed to help you reflect, plan, and make informed choices that truly support your wellbeing and independence.
1. Have My Goals Changed Since My Last Plan?
Your NDIS goals guide everything, from your funding to the supports you receive. Take time to reflect on what’s changed in your life since your last plan.
Perhaps you’ve achieved a goal, like improving daily living skills, or you’re now ready to focus on employment or independence. Reviewing your goals ensures your new plan aligns with where you are now, not where you were last year.
Tip: Write down any new priorities. Discuss these with your Support Coordinator or Psychosocial Recovery Coach to make sure they’re clearly represented in your plan.
2. Are My Current Supports Helping Me Reach My Goals?
Think about whether your current supports are making a real difference. Are they helping you move closer to your goals , or do you feel stuck?
If your supports no longer feel effective, your plan review is the perfect time to discuss changes.
Skye’s the Limit offers NDIS Support Coordination to help participants evaluate their supports and make adjustments when needed. Sometimes, even small tweaks , like more frequent therapy sessions or switching providers , can make a huge impact.
3. Do I Need New Support or Services?
As your life changes, your plan should grow with you. Maybe you’ve discovered new challenges or opportunities that require additional help.
For example, you might now benefit from NDIS Psychosocial Recovery Coaching, assistive technology, or skill-building programs. These can all be included in your review meeting.
If you’re unsure what new supports are available, your Support Coordinator can help you explore what’s possible under your current funding categories.
4. Am I Using My Funding Effectively?
Sometimes, funding goes unused simply because participants aren’t sure how to best allocate it. Before your plan review, check your spending patterns.
Are there supports you’ve barely used? Are you running out of funds in certain areas too quickly?
A Support Coordinator can help you analyze your funding and make sure you’re getting the best value from your NDIS plan.

5. Do I Have Evidence to Support My Review?
Having the right evidence is crucial for a successful plan review. This includes reports from allied health professionals, progress notes, or updated assessments.
If you’re working with occupational therapists, psychologists, or recovery coaches, ask them to prepare updated summaries that reflect your progress and ongoing needs.
Remember: The NDIS makes decisions based on documented evidence, so be sure to gather everything before your review meeting.

6. Do I Understand Each Funding Category?
Understanding your NDIS funding categories , Core, Capacity Building, and Capital Supports , can make a big difference in how effectively you use your plan.
If you’ve ever been unsure whether a service fits under “Capacity Building” or “Core Supports,” you’re not alone. Many participants find these categories confusing at first.
At Skye’s the Limit, our Support Coordination team helps break down each category so you can use your funding more flexibly and confidently.
7. Am I Happy with My Current Providers?
A strong relationship with your NDIS providers can make all the difference. Ask yourself:
- Do my providers listen to me and respect my goals?
- Are they helping me make progress?
- Do I feel comfortable communicating with them?
If not, it might be time to explore new options. Our blog on Switching NDIS Providers (internal link) explains how to do this smoothly and confidently.
You deserve a team that supports your independence, wellbeing, and choice every step of the way.
8. Do I Need Support to Prepare for the Review?
Preparing for your NDIS plan review can be overwhelming , but you don’t have to do it alone.
A Support Coordinator or Psychosocial Recovery Coach can help you:
- Gather reports and documents
- Identify your priorities
- Prepare your talking points
- Join you in your plan review meeting
This ensures you feel supported and that your voice is heard.

9. What Have I Learned Since My Last Plan?
Every NDIS journey is filled with learning , about your needs, your capabilities, and what truly works for you.
Reflect on your experiences:
- Which supports helped you grow?
- What challenges did you face?
- What would you like to do differently?
This kind of insight helps shape a more accurate and effective NDIS plan for the next stage of your life.
10. What Do I Want for My Future?
Your next plan should move you closer to your long-term vision , whether that’s greater independence, better health, stronger relationships, or meaningful employment.
Don’t be afraid to dream big. Share your hopes and aspirations with your planner or coordinator.
Skye’s the Limit believes in walking beside you on your path toward those dreams , ensuring your supports align with your goals every step of the way.
Your journey matters, and your voice deserves to be heard.
