You may meet the NDIS reviewer face to face or over the phone. The things they will ask you:
- your personal details
- your community and mainstream supports
- how you manage every day activities
- your safety, including equipment, accommodation or help to take care of yourself or your home
- the goals you want to pursue
- ways to manage your plan
- the support you need to use your NDIS plan.
If you meet face to face they will review your request for assistance and explain the relevant documents that you need to complete.
If you have a phone interview you will need to make sure you have completed the following:
- Booklet 2 – Planning. If you don’t have a physical copy, you can download a copy.
- Make sure you know when your phone appointment is, and who it will be with.
- Find a quiet place to have the call where you can focus. Planning meetings can take over an hour depending on your situation.
- Make sure you have your phone with you, it is charged and you are in a space with good reception.
- Have any reports or assessments with you. If possible, send them to your early childhood partner, LAC or NDIA Planner before the call.
- If you want a friend, family member or someone to help you with the meeting, make sure they are available and make sure that only one person talks at a time.
