Planning & Review Process
In order to prepare for an NDIS planning meeting, one will need to think about the current supports they require, how often these supports will be provided and by whom these supports, and services will be provided.
Additional consideration about who a participant would like to accompany them to their planning meeting may be required. A participant may opt to have ongoing support from a family member, friend, nominee/guardian, or advocate.
