NDIS Support Coordination services are designed to assist participants in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in effectively implementing their NDIS plans. Support coordinators work collaboratively with participants to understand their individual needs, preferences, and goals, providing guidance and assistance in accessing and coordinating a range of support services available through the NDIS.
These services include:
Plan Understanding: Support coordinators help participants comprehend their NDIS plans and the funded supports and services available to them.
Provider Connection: Coordinators assist participants in connecting with NDIS-approved service providers and organizations, facilitating the establishment of service agreements.
Capacity Building: Support coordinators empower participants to develop skills, knowledge, and confidence in managing their NDIS plans independently.
Crisis Management: In times of crisis or unforeseen challenges, coordinators offer immediate assistance, advocate for participants, and coordinate emergency supports.
Review and Monitoring: Coordinators regularly review participants’ NDIS plans, ensuring they align with evolving needs and goals, and facilitating plan adjustments when necessary.
