What is support coordination?

Support coordination is a service that helps individuals with disabilities or complex needs to access and manage the supports and services they require. A support coordinator works with clients to develop a plan, connect them with relevant providers, and ensure that their needs are being met efficiently. This role is commonly found within systems like the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia, where coordinators assist participants in navigating their funding and service options. The overall goal is to build the individual's capacity and independence while making sure their supports are well-coordinated.
