What is Support Coordination?

​

Support coordination is a service provided by a support coordinator to assist NDIS participants in managing and implementing their NDIS plan. The main role of a support coordinator is to help participants navigate the complexities of the NDIS system and connect them with appropriate supports and services. Here are some key aspects of NDIS support coordination My Access Support Services can help with:
 

• Plan Implementation: Support coordinators work closely with participants to understand their goals and needs outlined in their NDIS plan. They assist in coordinating and arranging the services and supports required to achieve these goals.

 

• Service Provider Selection: Support coordinators can provide guidance and information to help participants choose the most suitable service providers based on their specific needs and preferences. This may involve researching available options, organizing meetings with potential providers, and facilitating the participant's choice and control.

 

• Connecting with Community and Mainstream Services: Support coordinators help participants access community and mainstream services that are not funded by the NDIS but are essential for meeting their needs. They can assist with referrals, linking participants to local groups or organizations, and accessing community resources and activities.

 

• Building Capacity and Skills: Support coordinators work with participants to strengthen their ability to coordinate their own supports and build skills to achieve their goals. They provide guidance on managing budgets, understanding the NDIS portal, and developing self-advocacy skills.

 

• Crisis Management and Problem-Solving: Support coordinators are there to troubleshoot any issues or challenges that may arise during the implementation of the NDIS plan. They can support participants in managing crises, resolving conflicts, and advocating for their rights and needs
