1. Reflect on 2024: What Worked and What Didn’t

Reflection is the first step to moving forward. Think about your achievements over the past year:

• What goals did you accomplish?
• What supports helped you the most?
• Were there challenges or gaps in your plan?

Identifying these areas will help you set meaningful goals and ensure your NDIS plan supports you effectively in 2025.

2. Set Clear and Achievable Goals

Your NDIS plan is designed to support your personal goals, so take the time to define them clearly.

• Break goals into smaller steps: For example, if your goal is to improve social skills, start by attending one group activity per month.
• Discuss your goals with your Support Coordinator: They can help ensure your plan is tailored to meet your needs.
• Make goals measurable and realistic: Setting clear milestones will help you track your progress throughout the year.

3. Review Your Current Plan and Supports

A new year is a great time to review your NDIS plan and make adjustments if needed.

• Are there unused supports in your plan? Check if you’re making the most of the funding and services available to you.
• Do you need additional support? If your needs have changed, discuss this with your provider or Support Coordinator.

By proactively managing your plan, you can avoid gaps in support and ensure your funding is being used effectively.

4. Stay Connected with Your Community

Social connections are vital for well-being and personal growth. In 2025, consider engaging in community activities that align with your interests and goals:

• Join local social or recreational groups.
• Attend NDIS-supported events or workshops.
• Explore volunteering opportunities to build skills and meet new people.

Community access is an essential part of the NDIS, and staying active in your community can enhance your quality of life.
