Support Coordinators

Support Connection links you to community and mainstream supports; Support Coordination helps you manage your plan day-to-day and build skills; Specialist Support Coordination is for people with more complex needs.

No — they help you understand your options, but you keep choice and control over which providers you use.

Yes — they help review and adjust how you're using your supports as your needs change.

Every NDIS plan is unique, and your Support Coordination will reflect your individual goals and needs. There are three levels of support coordination within the NDIS:

1. Support Connection

Helps you build connections with community, mainstream and funded supports so you can make the most of your NDIS plan and pursue your personal goals.

2. Support Coordination

Focuses on developing the skills you need to understand, implement and manage your NDIS plan day-to-day. This includes learning how your supports fit into different areas of your life.

3. Specialist Support Coordination

Designed for participants with more complex needs. A Specialist Support Coordinator helps you manage higher-level challenges and coordinate supports within complex environments, ensuring your plan remains effective and sustainable.

Support Coordination is funded when it is considered “reasonable and necessary” for helping you achieve the goals in your NDIS plan. It typically appears under the Capacity Building – Support Coordination budget.

The type and level of support coordination you receive will be outlined in your plan or determined based on your individual needs and goals.
