Support Coordination is a service to help you strengthen your ability to connect with and coordinate your NDIS services. It can help you:
- understand and use your NDIS plan to pursue your goals
- connect with NDIS providers, community, mainstream and other government services
- build your confidence and skills to use and coordinate your supports.
There are different levels of support coordination that can be included in your plan, depending on the level and complexity of your needs, your current capacity and living environment, and the types of challenges you are facing. Your plan may describe what level of support coordination is funded or how support coordination should be delivered.
You may also wish to focus on specific goals in your NDIS plan, for example those related to finding suitable home and living supports. You can use your support coordination funding to work with a support coordinator who has the skills, knowledge and experience to meet your specific needs.
At Flourish Australia, our Support Coordinators specialise in walking alongside people living with mental health needs to coordinate informal, mainstream, and funded supports in a complex service delivery environment.
Who is eligible?
The NDIS funds support coordination for people who meet the following criteria:
- You are new to the NDIS and are receiving your first NDIS plan.
- You have a limited informal support network.
- You are likely to gain tangible benefit.
- You are going through a significant life change.
The NDIS assesses each person on a case-by-case basis to see whether they are eligible.
Registered and unregistered support coordinators
Support coordinators can be registered or unregistered providers. Not all providers are required to be registered. Participants whose plan is managed by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) can only receive supports from a registered NDIS provider. Registration requirements will vary depending on the level of support coordination.
