Trusted Support Coordination is a service that helps you organise your NDIS support. Depending on a participant’s goals and ambitions, you may receive a support coordinator. After the approval of the support plan, you can start working with your support coordinator to achieve your goals. You will work together to plan your journey for better motivation and adjustment by deciding to spend your funds most efficiently so that you may get the most out of your funding. You may choose the providers that best meet your needs.
What Can a Support Coordinator Do for You?
The role of an effective support coordinator is to provide and ensure a mix of supports that are used to increase your capacity to maintain and manage relationships and streamline service delivery tasks to live a more independent and active life and be a part of a more vibrant community. Key roles that a support coordinator performs are:
- Help you to comprehend and implement the funded supports in your plan
- Linking you to the providers and other community and government services.
- I will assist you in negotiating with providers regarding the costs and support services they offer.
- Assists you to get the most out of your funded support per your needs and preferences.
- Assist you in capacity building to act independently and enable you to coordinate your own supports.
- Help finding and negotiating service agreements with a variety of service providers.
- It helps you prepare for your NDIS plan reviews.
How Do I Know If I Have Funding for A Support Coordinator?
After the confirmation of eligibility for the support
coordination, funds will be allocated to the capacity-building support budget. Some
people will receive funding once they receive their NDIS Plan.
If you are eligible for Support Coordination, funds will be allocated to your Capacity Building Support budget. The
amount of funding is based on what NDIS considers necessary and reasonable.
For instance, if you move into support accommodation or are experiencing long-term health challenges, this will require extra support.
When you don’t have funding for the Support Coordination or need to change your funding level in your NDIS budget, you may talk to your Local Area Coordinator (LAC). They will assist you in determining the possibility of receiving funding for support coordination. Bring any evidence, like reports or assessments, to your LAC.
