What is Support Coordination?
Support coordination is a capacity Building support that is in place to help and support you to best utilize your supports in your NDIS plan. Support coordination will assist you to
- Understand and use you NDIS plan to reach your self determined goals
- Connect you with NDIS providers, community, mainstream and other government services, local, State and Federal
- Build your ability 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
