Identifying the NDIS participant's goals and aspirations
Evaluating the NDIS participant's current supports and services

Developing a plan for the supports and services needed to achieve the NDIS participant's goals
Once the plan is developed, it must be approved by the NDIS before any services and supports can be provided.

The NDIS plan includes:
The NDIS participant's goals and aspirations
The supports and services necessary to achieve these goals
The budget for these supports and services
The duration of the plan (usually 12 months)
The review date for the plan
How is the NDIS Plan Managed?
The NDIS plan is managed by the NDIS participant, with support from their support network and NDIS providers. The NDIS participant is responsible for managing their budget, ensuring that the supports and services they receive are in line with their plan, and reporting any changes or issues to the NDIS.
Conclusion
The NDIS plan is a crucial document that outlines the services and supports that a person with a disability will receive under the NDIS. By understanding how the plan is developed, what is included, and how it is managed, NDIS participants can make informed choices about the supports and services they need to achieve their goals.
