NDIS Goals

Why NDIS Goals Matter More Than You Think

When it comes to the NDIS, many people focus on the funding in their plan. However, one of the most important parts of your plan is actually your goals.

Your goals help determine what types of supports and services can be funded through the NDIS. If your goals are not clear or do not reflect your current needs, it may impact the supports included in your plan.

What are NDIS goals?

NDIS goals describe what the participant wants to work towards during the plan period. These goals help guide the types of supports that may be funded.

Goals can relate to many areas of life, including:

• Building independence

• Developing communication skills

• Improving daily living skills

• Increasing participation in school or community activities

• Strengthening social connections

Why clear goals are important

Clear and meaningful goals help ensure that your NDIS plan supports the things that matter most to you. They also help providers understand how they can best support you.

When preparing for a plan review, it can be helpful to think about:

• What has been working well

• What challenges still exist

• What you would like to achieve over the next year

Updating goals to reflect your current needs can help ensure your plan continues to support your progress.

Navigating the NDIS

The NDIS can sometimes feel complex, particularly when preparing for plan reviews or understanding how funding can be used. Having the right support and information can make a big difference.

Understanding how goals shape your plan is an important step in getting the most out of the NDIS.
