NDIS Support Coordination

NDIS Support Coordination is the facilitation of supports carried out by a registered NDIS Support Coordinator. A Support Coordinator will help you to understand how your plan works by communicating the details of your NDIS plan to you in a way you can understand.

The NDIS describes Support Coordination as a support that “assists you to build the skills you need to understand, implement 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.”

As a capacity-building support, Support Coordination is an important part of developing your independence and achieving your long-term goals. The NDIS breaks down the Coordination of Supports into three sub-categories:

• Support connection – This is short-term assistance to help you connect and build relationships with service providers. Our experienced team can help facilitate any level of supports you need, either short-term or long-term.
• Support coordination – Our NDIS Support Coordinators provide you with ongoing assistance to navigate the NDIS, connect you with supports, resolve any issues and more.
• Specialist support coordination – If you have a complex living situation, difficulty communicating or other family members are also living with disability, specialist support coordination, also known as complex case management, helps to address barriers and reduce complexities.

If you are new to the NDIS, learning how to interpret and understand your plan and the terminology within it can be difficult. Support Coordinators are experts in the NDIS and know how to navigate the ins and outs of the system. Working closely with you, Support Coordinators communicate in a language you can understand and ensure you know what is included in your plan and what isn’t.

Partnering with an independent, registered NDIS Support Coordinator, such as Disability Plan Services, means you will always receive personal one-on-one support. It is important to understand how your plan and supports work together in order to achieve your goals.

Support Coordinators ensure your supports are running properly and are working for you, will negotiate the best possible agreements with your service providers, prepare you for upcoming plan reviews and assist in times of need.

Ultimately, Support Coordination is all about capacity building, which means building your ability to act more independently which is an important part of your personal growth and a step towards achieving your goals. Being able to build and maintain relationships, participate in your favourite community groups and manage your supports wouldn’t be possible without developing your independence.
