Why take this course?

According to senate estimates, there’s an estimated 50,000 Change of Circumstance (CoC) requests in the NDIS system. So it’s little wonder why some participants are experiencing a long delay – unable to update their plans to reflect their changing needs or access new supports. 

This 2 hour workshop will arm you with the knowledge and strategies to get your Change of Circumstance request addressed by the NDIA, sooner. We’ll highlight the hidden criteria, and give you practical tips to increase the likelihood of getting your request seen, prioritised and addressed. Complete with practical examples and real-time advice. 


What you’ll gain

We’ll dive into:

  • A Comprehensive Overview of Plan Variations And Reassessments
    Including valid reasons under the legislation for requesting an unscheduled plan variation or reassessment under the NDIS framework, ensuring you understand the criteria and prepare your requests accordingly.

  • Exceptional Circumstances
    Four exceptional circumstances introduced in the amended NDIS Act. These reasons (which have yet to be communicated through the NDIS website or operational guidelines, we might add) will be explained in detail to give you an edge in advocating for participant needs.

  • Prioritisation Tips
    Practical guidance on how to craft a strong, compelling case that aligns with NDIS legislated priorities, increasing the likelihood of your request being addressed sooner.
