Understanding your plan, support budgets and available options
NDIS participant support
Understand your NDIS plan and coordinate supports with confidence.
Support Coordination helps participants make effective use of the supports in their NDIS plan. We work alongside you to understand your budgets, explore provider options, connect funded and community supports, and strengthen your confidence to direct how your supports work together.
Your coordinator can help clarify budgets, compare provider options, establish service arrangements and connect funded, mainstream and community supports. We also monitor how supports are working with you and build your confidence to make informed decisions.
How we can support you
Practical support, shaped around you.
Examples are discussed and agreed with each participant. The exact support provided depends on individual goals, funding, preferences and the service agreement.
