We’re gradually introducing shorter funding periods in participants' plans to help participants more easily manage their budgets.

If you’re starting a new NDIS plan or going through a reassessment, you will now have a discussion about funding periods in your plan.

The length of funding period will be based on participant’s individual circumstances and will usually be a three-month funding period.

You might be asking, but what if my needs suddenly change?

It may be a change in what you can or can’t do because of your disability, a change in your informal supports, or your life has changed in a significant way.

You can request a plan reassessment at any time.

Let us know as soon as possible if your circumstances change. You will need to provide to provide evidence and information about what has changed.

While all NDIS plans are built to last the length of the plan, we know support needs can fluctuate.

It’s also important to know any unspent funds in one period are rolled over to the next as funding periods do not change the total value of a plan.

You can learn more about the changes at 💻 https://ow.ly/RIaK50WasbZ
