Our Support Coordination service gives you the confidence and skills to use and manage the supports of your choice. You’ll build your independence to navigate the NDIS process, including using the NDIS participant portal and making the most effective use of the funding in your plan.
Support Coordination is a personalised service that focuses on your plan and your goals. Our experienced and knowledgeable support coordinators will take the time to listen to you and find out what you’re looking for. They’ll work with you to highlight your existing strengths and the areas you’d like to develop.
Tailored strategies will enable you to manage your NDIS plan and supports. These might include identifying and growing your support network, researching service providers, understanding service agreements, and communicating your needs to a support provider.
Empowered with the skills to use and coordinate your supports, you’ll be on track to reach your goals and build a more independent life.

Understanding your NDIS plan
With a full breakdown of your NDIS plan, you’ll know how to make use of all your NDIS funding. We’ll also provide support with budgeting and planning, setting up the NDIS participant portal, becoming familiar with the NDIS price guide, and offer assistance when you’re ready to prepare for your next NDIS plan
Identifying your options
We’ll listen carefully to your needs and wants and address any barriers you might be facing. We can then look at the different options available to you, including funded, mainstream and informal service networks, and connect you to the right supports to meet your goals.
Building your capacity
Learn how to research and connect with services, increase your support networks, make long-term plans, and understand what to look for in a support worker and a support organisation
Ongoing support
Regular check-ins with meetings and phone calls will allow us to monitor and review your supports, and make adjustments if they’re not working for you or if your needs change. You can contact us if you have any questions or concerns about your NDIS plan or if you want assistance when things go wrong.
Resolving service delivery issues
If you are experiencing issues with a service provider, you’ll feel supported to make a complaint if necessary and work on resolving the issue directly with the provider.
