Plan Support
Support services to help you manage the planning and funding allocated under NDIS.
Support Coordination
A Support Coordinator works with a participant and their families to play a pivotal role in helping you navigate the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). They help a participant to build capacity for independence, express your needs, formulate your plan and connect with providers of support and services.
Use Support Coordination to understand your needs and develop your NDIS plan
You have been approved for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), so, now what? It can be difficult to navigate the system, find and organise services that you need and fit within your plan. Alternatively, you may feel like you don’t have the skills to do it alone and would prefer some assistance. A support coordinator will help you to understand and implement the funded supports outlined in your NDIS plan.
