The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has introduced additional review checks for older NDIS claims.

While these changes are unlikely to affect your day-to-day supports, they may impact how long it takes for some older invoices and reimbursement requests to be processed through Plan Tracker.

What’s changing in October

From 15 October 2026, the NDIA will introduce additional integrity checks for claims submitted 90 days or more after a support has been delivered.

These checks may apply to claims submitted by:

  • Self-managed participants
  • Plan managers
  • Registered NDIS providers
  • Unregistered NDIS provider

What’s changing in December?

From 1 December 2026, claims submitted 90 days or more after a support has been delivered will not be paid, unless exceptional circumstances apply.

Why is the NDIA reviewing older claims?

The additional reviews are part of the NDIA’s ongoing approach to monitoring and verifying claims to help ensure NDIS funds are being used appropriately and claims meet NDIS requirements.

What does this mean for you?

If an older claim is selected for review, the NDIA may place it on hold for up to 28 days while further assessment is completed.

During this process, the NDIA may request information to confirm that:

  • The support was delivered
  • The support meets NDIS requirements
  • The claim has been submitted correctly

If the NDIA decides not to approve a claim, it will provide a reason for its decision.

How can delays be avoided?

To help reduce the risk of delays, Plan Tracker encourages participants and providers to submit invoices and reimbursement requests as soon as possible after supports have been delivered.

Submitting claims promptly can help ensure faster processing and reduce the likelihood of a claim being selected for additional review.

We encourage anyone with outstanding claims with a service date older than 90 days to submit them now before the 1 December.
