SUPPORT COORDINATOR

Support Coordinator

 

Support coordination helps you to make the best use of your supports in plan. Support coordination is a capacity building support which helps you to:

​

• Understand and use you NDIS plan to pursue your goals

​

• Connect you with NDIS providers, community, mainstream and other government services.

​

• Build your confidence and skills to use and coordinate your supports.

​

A support coordinator or specialist support coordinator delivers support coordination services.

 

​

There are three levels of support coordination that can be included in your plan:

​

1. Support connection – This support is to build your ability to connect with

informal, community and funded supports enabling you to get the most out of

your plan and pursue your goals.

​

2. Support coordination – coordination of supports: This support will assist you

to build the skills you need to understand and use your plan. A support

coordinator will work with you to ensure a mix of supports are used to increase

your capacity to maintain relationships, manage service delivery tasks, live

more independently and be included in your community.

​

3. Specialist support coordination – This is a higher level of support coordination.

It is for people whose situations are more complex and who need specialist

support. A specialist Support Coordinator will assist you to manage challenges

in your support environment and ensuring consistent delivery of service.

​

You may also wish to focus on a specific goal in your NDIS plan, such as those related to finding suitable home and living supports. You can use your support coordination funding to work with a support coordinator who has the skills, knowledge and experience to meet your specific needs.

​

Additional information about how Support Coordination works can be found on the NDIS website.
