Once approved, you will be funded for a dedicated Support Coordinator who works alongside you to manage services, build your skills, and navigate the NDIS system with confidence. For many participants, this means less confusion, faster progress toward goals, and a smoother experience with their supports.

Where Do You Start with Support Coordination?

You start by discussing your needs with your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) during your planning meeting or plan reassessment.

Explain how Support Coordination will help you maximise the benefits of your plan, including understanding funding, connecting with providers, and coordinating multiple support services. If it is not already in your plan, you can request it, and the NDIS will assess whether it is reasonable and necessary for your situation.

Why Should You Get Support Coordination?

You should consider Support Coordination if you want expert help to implement and manage your NDIS plan effectively.

A Support Coordinator connects you with the right providers, helps resolve issues, and builds your skills to manage supports in the future. This is especially valuable if you have multiple services, complex needs, or are new to the NDIS.

How Much Does Support Coordination Cost You?

Support Coordination does not incur any out-of-pocket costs because it is funded separately in your NDIS plan.

It is categorised under “Coordination of Supports” and cannot be used for any other services. This means your Core Supports budget remains untouched, and you keep full funding for other essential supports.

What Is the Next Step After Deciding to Get Support Coordination?

The next step is to contact Help at Hand Support Services so we can guide you through requesting it in your plan and connect you with a qualified Support Coordinator.

We will help you start using your funding immediately, ensure your supports are well-organised, and work with you to achieve your goals.
