Navigating Your NDIS Plan Renewal
As you approach the end of your NDIS plan, it's natural to have questions about the next steps. Whether your current plan still suits your needs or you're considering changes, Purple Leopard is here to guide you through the process.
What Happens When My NDIS Plan Expires?
Before your plan reaches its end date, the NDIS will contact you to discuss your next steps. You'll have two options:
Plan Rollover: If you're satisfied with your current plan and don't wish to make changes, you can opt for a rollover, allowing you to continue with your existing setup.
Full Plan Review: If your needs have changed or you're not satisfied with your current plan, you can request a review. This is your chance to secure a new plan that better aligns with your current situation.
Will I Be Left Without a Plan?
No, you won’t be left without support. If there are delays in processing your new plan, your current plan will automatically be extended, ensuring continuous access to the supports you need until your new plan or rollover is approved.
Preparing for Your Plan Expiry
Here’s how you can prepare for the transition:
Assess Your Needs: Reflect on your current plan's effectiveness and identify any changes you might need.
Gather Evidence: If you're opting for a review, prepare supporting evidence that justifies the need for different supports.
Consult Your Support Coordinator: Discuss your options with your support coordinator. They can provide valuable insights and help prepare you for the review process.
Utilise Your Funds: Make sure to use your allocated funds as they won’t roll over. Use your Purple Leopard Dashboard to monitor and optimise your spending.
Key Tip
The NDIS will ensure you're informed about your options well before your plan expires. Whether you choose to rollover your current plan or seek a review, you’re covered. This is an excellent opportunity to tailor your NDIS plan to suit your evolving needs better.
Leverage Support Coordination
If you have questions about the renewal process or need help deciding on the best course of action, your support coordinator is an invaluable resource. Their expertise can guide you through the process and help you achieve the outcomes that best support your lifestyle.
