Support Coordination

---

Support Coordination is a service offered by a disability provider that assists participants to use their NDIS plan and funding in the best way possible.

If your NDIS plan includes Support Coordination, you will be paired with a Support Coordinator. The role of this Support Coordinator is to help you coordinate your supports (such as therapy, personal care, or community access) required in your everyday life and make sure they are implemented in a way that suits your individual lifestyle. 

The Support Coordinators number one goal should be to enhance your life with supports that empower you!

Working with a Support Coordinator can assist you to:

• Understand and use your NDIS plan to accomplish your unique goals.
• Connect you with a range of service providers, community, mainstream and other government services.
• Build your confidence and skills to use and coordinate your required supports in a manner that suits you best.
• Coordinate your plans funding allocations.
• Pick and choose who gives you services
• Live more independently
• Feel more included in your community
• Make sure your choices and wishes are respected.

 Support Coordination is recommended to anyone who seeks help in the coordination of their NDIS plan and the supports they use/require in daily life.

This may include participants who:

• Are new the NDIS or have just received their first plan
• Require assistance in engaging with mainstream disability services and providers.
• Are unfamiliar with how funding allocations work within an NDIS plan.
• Require assistance from someone to find and connect with the RIGHT service provider… A provider who truly understands and supports you as a unique person.

To access Support Coordination with an NDIS plan, you will need funding under the Capacity Building Category- Support Coordination.

This funding is based on what is ‘reasonable and necessary’ (NDIS) to pursue your individual goals, in addition to the support provided by family, friends, and other community and government services.

The funding will be a fixed amount for a Support Coordinator to work with you regularly- helping you confidently utilize your NDIS plan.

If you have an approved NDIS Plan and are seeking Support Coordination, contact your Local Area Coordinator (LAC) or NDIS Planner to find a Support Coordinator that suits you best.
