get my NDIS plan? 4 Service Agreement 5 DID YOU KNOW ? During this meeting or shortly afterwards, the service provider will provide you with a quote for the services you discussed. If you accept the quote, you will sign a Service Agreement form with the service provider, quarantine funds with the NDIA and then start receiving services. 12 months after your first plan, you will have another meeting with the NDIA to review your plan and see if you are on track to meeting your goals. The service providers you’ve been working with will send a report to the NDIA outlining how they’ve supported you too. If for any reason your needs change before this 12-month review, you can always contact the NDIA to apply for a change to your plan. Did you know that the NDIS will now be rolling out earlier for Ipswich, Bundaberg and Rockhampton than originally announced?
