NDIS plans are typically reviewed annually. However, if circumstances, goals, or needs significantly change, the plan can be reviewed more frequently to ensure it remains effective.
If you move to a different area or state, your NDIS plan and support can be transferred. Contact the NDIA to update your details and coordinate the transition to ensure continuity of services.
