The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative that provides support to people with disabilities. The scheme is designed to help individuals access the support they need to live a better life. One of the key components of the NDIS is support coordination. In this article, we’ll discuss what support coordination is, how it works, and the benefits it can provide.
What is NDIS Support Coordination?
NDIS Support Coordination is a service that helps NDIS participants navigate the scheme and connect with the right supports and services. A support coordinator works with the participant to understand their needs and goals, then helps them access the services they need to achieve these goals. The support coordinator will work with the participant to create a plan that outlines the supports and services they require, and then assist with implementing this plan.
How Does NDIS Support Coordination Work?
Support coordination is available to NDIS participants who have support coordination included in their plan. This means that the cost of the service is covered by the NDIS. Once a participant has been approved for support coordination, they will be matched with a support coordinator who will work with them to develop their plan.
The support coordinator will assess the participant’s needs and goals, and work with them to identify the services and supports they require. They will also help the participant to navigate the NDIS, including accessing services and providers, understanding their plan, and managing their funding.
