NDIS Support Plan Template
Get the whole support team working the same way, towards the same goals.
A support plan sets out how supports are delivered day to day. It is a working document for a provider or support team, so everyone works consistently towards the participant goals.
This is not the participant NDIS plan, which the NDIA issues. It is the practical companion to it: routines, communication needs, health and safety, and who does what.

What a support plan sets out
Build the plan with the participant, not just for them. These sections give a support team what it needs to deliver consistent support.
- Participant name, NDIS number, and emergency contact
- Preferred name and pronouns
- The goals being worked towards, and who helps with each
- The supports in place and the routine that works best
- How the participant communicates and prefers to be communicated with
- Health information, allergies, mobility needs, and safety considerations
- Preferences and things to avoid
- A review date, and sign-off from the participant and the preparer
How to use it
Support coordinators
Use the plan to brief every provider on the roster the same way. Keep it aligned with the goals in the participant NDIS plan, and review it whenever those goals or the supports change.
Providers and support teams
Keep it where workers can find it, and update it when routines change. A current plan is what stops a new worker having to relearn everything on their first shift.
Questions people ask
Is a support plan the same as an NDIS plan?
No. The NDIS plan is the document the NDIA issues, setting funding and goals. A support plan is the working document a provider or support team uses to deliver those supports consistently day to day. This template is the second kind; it sits alongside the NDIA plan, not in place of it.
Who should write the support plan?
Write it with the participant, and their support coordinator or key worker where there is one. Their input on routines, communication, and preferences is what makes the plan usable. Sign-off from the participant or their representative keeps it grounded in what they actually want.
How often should a support plan be reviewed?
Set a review date in the plan, and revisit it sooner if the participant needs, routines, or goals change. A plan that is out of date can send a new worker in the wrong direction, so keeping it current is part of delivering good support.
