What is Support Coordination?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an initiative launched by the Australian government to assist and ease the day-to-day living of people with disabilities. First-time beneficiaries may not know exactly what to do or where to start. They require specialist support coordination services to help maximise benefits while avoiding possible unreliable service providers.
Specialised support coordination helps you make the right decision and put your plan to the best use. NDIS support coordination providers will help you:
- Fully understand your NDIS plan
- Use your NDIS plan to pursue your goals
- Connect you with NDIS providers, community services and other government schemes
- Engage with NDIS communities
- Improve self-confidence and independence
There are three types of NDIS support coordination that can be included in your plan, namely:
- Support connection: This will build your ability to connect with informal, community and funded supports. They will help you get the most out of the plan.
- Support coordination: This support will promote the skills you need to understand different plans. The focus is on increasing your ability to maintain relationships, manage service delivery tasks, be independent and interact with the community.
- Specialist support coordination: This is meant for individuals with more complex situations. Specialised coordination will assist them in managing challenges and ensuring they get reliable services.
