Support Coordination
The provision of Support Coordination within a specialist framework necessitated by specific high level risks in the participant’s situation. Support is time limited and focuses on addressing barriers and reducing complexity in the support environment, while assisting the participant to connect with supports and build capacity and resilience. It may also involve development of an intervention plan which will be put in place by disability support workers.
Here are responsibilities of support coordinators:
.Understanding and using your NDIS plan
.Finding and connecting with NDIS providers and community services
.Coordinating service agreements and managing bookings
.Ensuring your supports are delivered properly and adjusting when things change
.Helping you build skills to manage your supports more independently
.Preparing for your plan review by showing how you’ve used your supports
.Crisis management and problem-solving if you experience changes in your support needs
Support Coordination is like having a personal guide who helps you make the most of your NDIS funding.
