What is Support Coordination?

Support Coordination is designed to assist you in finding the best services to deliver the outcomes in your NDIS plan. There are three levels of Support Coordination available under the NDIS. Your NDIS planner will talk to you about which level of Support Coordination is most appropriate for you.

There are 3 levels of Support Coordination:

  1. Support Connection – Short term assistance designed to build your capacity to manage your own plan.
  2. Support Coordination – Longer term support for more complex support needs. This level of support focuses working together to understand the funding, what you expect from services, and how you want this to be designed.
  3. Specialist Support Coordination – similar to level 2 but with more intensive support.
