ABOUT SUPPORT COORDINATION

WHAT IS SUPPORT COORDINATION?

Support coordination is a capacity building support which helps you to understand and use your NDIS plan to pursue your goals. Support coordinators can help you to connect with NDIS providers, community, mainstream and other government services, such as the NDIS. They can help build your confidence and skills to use and organise your supports and services under the NDIS.

3 LEVELS OF SUPPORT COORDINATION:

There are three levels of support coordination that can be included in your NDIS plan:

  1. Lvl 1 Support connection – This support is to build your ability to connect with informal, community and funded supports enabling you to get the most out of your plan and pursue your goals.
  2. Lvl 2 Support coordination – coordination of supports: This support will assist you to build the skills you need to understand and use your plan. A support coordinator will work with you to ensure a mixture of supports are used to increase your capacity to maintain relationships, manage service delivery tasks, live more independently and be included in your community.
  3. Lvl 3 Specialist support coordination – This is a higher level of support coordination. It is for people whose situations are more complex and who need specialist support. A specialist Support Coordinator will assist you to manage challenges in your support environment and ensuring consistent delivery of service.

HOW IS SUPPORT COORDINATION INCLUDED IN MY NDIS PLAN?

Your NDIS funding is based on what is ‘reasonable and necessary’ to pursue your goals, in addition to the support provided by family, friends, and other community and government services.

Where reasonable and necessary, support coordination will be included in the Capacity Building budget. This is a fixed amount for a support coordinator to help you use your NDIS plan.

If your plan describes or ‘states’ the level of support coordination funded, you can only use this level of support coordination.

If your plan does not describe the level of support coordination funded, you can choose to use the level of support coordination that suits your needs.
