NDIS Support Coordination
Getting the Most Out of Your NDIS Plan
When you have an NDIS plan you have choice and control over which servicers providers you would like to connect with. If you’re not able to coordinate your own services, Support Coordination may be included in your plan to assist you to find supports and services that are the right fit for you.
Challenge Community Services is a fully registered NDIS provider for Support Coordination services. Our experienced team can work with you to coordinate NDIS supports, organise informal services, resolve points of crisis and help you develop important connections within your community.
How Can a Support Coordinator Help You?
Support Coordinators are here to help you get what you need to meet your goals and get the most out of your allocated NDIS funding.
An NDIS Support Coordinator will support you to understand the funded supports in your plan and link you to community, mainstream and other government services. A Support Coordinator will focus on supporting you to build skills and direct your life as well as connect you to providers.
Your Support Coordinator will assist you to negotiate with providers about what they will offer you and how much it will cost out of your plan. Support Coordinators make sure service agreements and service bookings are completed. They will help build your ability to exercise choice and control, to coordinate supports and access your local community.
They can also help you prepare for your NDIS plan review meetings.
Make the Most of Your NDIS Support
Challenge Community Services support coordinators offer two different levels of Support Coordination that can be included in your plan:
- 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.
- Support Coordination – Coordination of supports: This support will assist you to build the skills you need to understand, implement and use your plan. A Support Coordinator will work with you to ensure a mix of supports are used to increase your capacity to maintain relationships, manage service delivery tasks, live more independently and be included in your community.
Depending on your individual goals, plan objectives and aspirations you may receive funding for these supports in your plan.
