Frequently Asked Questions

Support Coordination is an NDIS-funded service that is intended to assist NDIS participants in coordinating the support services in their NDIS Plan.

Your plan’s specific services will all be connected to you by a support coordinator.
A coordinator for on-site support can make the most of your NDIS funds. Since we are specialists in the field of disabilities, we can make recommendations that are based on your particular objectives.
 

An assistance coordinator may:
  1. Determine the objectives and needs of each client.
  2. Find the support services that will best match their needs and ambitions by navigating the NDIS marketplace.
  3. To fully utilise the plan and its features, contact the support providers.
  4. Create independence
  5. Observe and document development.
  6. Get ready for a review of the NDIS plan.
  7. General encouragement and support.

No. While a plan manager will manage your budget and organise payments and bills. your NDIS plan will be “translated” by a support coordinator, who will also put you in touch with the resources and services you need to succeed.

Yes. Support coordinators can guide you through it. A Support Coordinator can create a Plan Review Report in advance of the meeting to list the services scheduled. This will include suggestions for future services as well as assessment reports to show progress during the Plan term. A support coordinator can assist clients and their representatives throughout the conference. They then serve as the NDIS’ point of contact.

The purpose of support coordination is to assist NDIS Participants in creating and maintaining a support network.
This entails:

  1. Helping you to comprehend your NDIS plan.
  2. Assisting you to have control and choice over your NDIS services and other supports.
  3. Helping you to overcome any difficulties that might arise with your support services.
  4. Capacity building.

Your National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan provides you with a predetermined amount of funding for a variety of support services if you have a disability.
Your plan’s support money is highly particular and related to assisting you in reaching your objectives. This could involve a variety of services like in-home assistance, access to social and community resources, or therapy sessions. You can find out if you qualify for Support Coordination in your NDIS plan.

The Support Coordinator will gradually work with their clients to equip them with the knowledge necessary to manage their Plans as they see fit. To ensure that the Support Coordinator gives the customer the most power possible, it’s important to align their goals with the customer’s own.

Informal, mainstream, communal, and paid help are all forms of assistance. Occupational therapy, social support, at-home assistance, job assistance, educational assistance, and community involvement are some examples.

 

Support Coordination is of three types.


Support Connection: To assist in putting you in touch with NDIS-funded and conventional services.
Support Coordination: To assist in coordinating your schedule.
Specialist Support Coordination: For people who require more support, there is specialist support coordination.

Your plan will specify the kind of financing you will receive based on your particular needs.
