People living with disabilities have a lot of challenges manoeuvring through life. Support coordination enables them to live independent and confident lives. They gain the confidence to perform daily activities better than before. Support coordinators get to understand the participant personally to help them develop a plan that suits their needs. It relieves the NDIS participant from the burden and stress of navigating the system. Here are all the details on how NDIS supports coordination:
What is Support Coordination?
NDIS support coordination is a service provided under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to assist participants in managing their plans and accessing support services. Support coordinators work with NDIS participants to understand their needs and goals and to develop a plan to achieve them. This involves identifying the most appropriate providers and services to meet the participant’s needs, coordinating appointments and referrals, and helping participants to navigate the complex NDIS system.
NDIS support coordination is intended to be a flexible service tailored to meet each participant’s individual needs. Support coordinators may provide support in various areas, including housing, employment, health, education, and community participation. They may also assist with plan reviews and reporting, helping participants to stay on track and achieve their goals.
