The purpose of Support Coordination is to assist participants to implement an approved plan by strengthening their ability to connect with the broader systems of support and understanding the purpose of the funding.
Support Coordinator’s will assist a participant to understand all aspects of the plan, aid in the ongoing management and answer questions as they arise.
Our experienced Support Coordination staff can act on behalf of the participant, to contact organisations, community groups and services to research your options and obtain quotes so you can make an informed decision about which services you would like to purchase with your NDIS funding.
You may find that your Support Coordination funding is allocated to Psychosocial Recovery Coaching. This is a newer line of support under NDIS aimed toward participants living with a psychosocial disability who require support to manage complex daily living challenges.
Psychosocial Recovery Coaches will focus on engaging with and encouraging participants toward achieving a greater level of participation and independence in managing their everyday lives. This is done using strategies informed by a knowledge and understanding of psychosocial conditions and built-in collaboration with the participants other supports and allied health professionals to achieve the best possible outcome.
Recovery coaches work closely with participants, their families and other formal supports to develop these strategies as part of a recovery plan designed and implemented with the individual needs and goals of the participant in mind.
