Support Coordination
Support coordination needs to be specifically funded in your NDIS plan and you will need to demonstrate to the NDIS that you need this support. Speak to your LAC or NDIS planner to assist you with this. Once confirmed, please reach out to us and we can help you every step of the way.
It’s great that you have a strong support network. However sometimes they may not have the time or knowledge to support you to implement your NDIS plan. This would be considered when the NDIS is looking at your request for support coordination to be funded in your plan.
Plan management is just one way to manage the funds in your NDIS plan (as is self management), and anyone can request to have their funds managed in this way.
Support coordination is a specific support designed to help you implement your NDIS plan and build your capacity to manage your supports.
No. In the event of an emergency you need to call the appropriate emergency service (fire, police, ambulance). Support coordinators are not an emergency response service and only work during office hours. Your support coordinator can help you to put plans and supports in place to minimise the risk of crises, or to manage the effects of a crisis situation after it has happened.
No. Support coordination is a capacity building support . In the early stages of your NDIS journey your support coordinator may do some tasks for you or with you, but ultimately our role is to build your confidence and develop your skills (or those of your support network) to manage and coordinate your supports as much as possible. It is important that you are in control of your supports.
A Support Coordinator is not an independent advocate, but they can help you build your self-advocacy skills or connect you with a professional advocacy service.
