Support coordination is a service designed to help NDIS participants build the capacity to understand, use, and manage their NDIS plans effectively.
At its core, support coordination, empowers you to navigate your NDIS plan, ensuring you have access to the resources and services you need to achieve your goals. A support coordinator works closely with you to explain your support budget, what it can be used for, and how your funding is managed.
Your coordinator will help you map out and coordinate your supports and activities, connecting you with the right services and people to meet your needs. Whether it’s establishing new supports, adjusting existing ones, or addressing unexpected challenges, support coordination is about helping you take control, build your skills, and live more independently.
But, what about specialist support coordination?
Specialist support coordination is an advanced level of support coordination designed for NDIS participants who have complex needs or face significant challenges in managing their NDIS plans. This service is provided by highly experienced and qualified professionals who have expertise in handling intricate situations.
Specialist support coordinators work intensively with participants to address and overcome barriers that affect their ability to implement their NDIS plans. They provide personalized, in-depth support to help navigate the complexities of the NDIS system, ensuring that participants can access the necessary services and supports. This might include coordinating multiple services, managing crises, and ensuring continuity of supports during major life changes or transitions.
The primary goal of specialist support coordination is to build the participant’s capacity and resilience, helping them to achieve greater stability and independence. This service is particularly valuable for individuals with high support needs, those experiencing significant changes in their lives, or those who require intensive support to coordinate their care and services effectively.
Our team has extensive experience in both specialist and non-specialist support coordination. To see if we have a coordinator who meets your needs, get in touch today.
