SUPPORT COORDINATION
Your Expert Guide to Navigating the NDIS
Your NDIS plan is full of potential — but understanding and accessing it all can be complex. Good Doers Support Coordinators are here to simplify the process, connect you with the right services, and make sure your plan works hard for you.
What is Support Coordination?
Support Coordination is an NDIS-funded service that helps participants understand and implement their NDIS plans. A Support Coordinator works alongside you to navigate the often complex world of disability services, connect you with appropriate providers, build your capacity to manage your own supports, and ensure you are getting maximum value from your NDIS funding. At Good Doers, our Support Coordinators are experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to acting in your best interests — always.
Support Coordination
Our standard Support Coordination service is ideal for participants who need assistance to understand their plan, coordinate their supports, and strengthen their ability to connect with community, mainstream, and funded supports. Our Support Coordinators will:
1. Thoroughly explain your NDIS plan and what each funding category means
2. Help you identify and connect with service providers that meet your specific needs.
3. Assist with setting up and reviewing service agreements.
4. Coordinate multiple services and providers to ensure your supports work together seamlessly.
5. Help you prepare for NDIS plan reviews and advocate for your needs.
6. Build your own capacity to eventually manage your supports independently
Specialist Support Coordination
For participants with more complex support needs, we offer Specialist Support Coordination delivered by highly experienced professionals. Specialist Support Coordinators work with participants who face significant challenges and complex circumstances, including those with:
1. Complex mental health or psychosocial disabilities.
2. Multiple and overlapping support needs.
3. Crisis situations or breakdown of existing supports.
4. Challenging behaviours or high-risk situations.
5. Complex housing or accommodation needs.
Specialist Support Coordination involves a higher level of expertise, regular monitoring, and close collaboration with allied health professionals, government agencies, and community services.
How Support Coordination Helps You Get More From Your NDIS Plan
Many NDIS participants do not use all the funding available to them simply because they are unsure how to access it. A Good Doers Support Coordinator ensures that:
- You fully understand every part of your NDIS plan
- Your funding is being spent effectively and in line with your goals
- You are connected with the best-fit providers and services
- Your plan reflects your changing needs at every review
- You feel empowered, informed, and in control of your own journey
Who Needs Support Coordination?
Support Coordination is particularly valuable for:
- New NDIS participants who are unfamiliar with how the scheme works
- Participants whose plans have multiple funding categories and complex supports
- Individuals transitioning from other care or support systems into the NDIS
- Participants whose circumstances have changed significantly
- Families and carers who need guidance in navigating the NDIS on behalf of a loved one
If Support Coordination funding is included in your NDIS plan, do not let it go unused. It is one of the most valuable tools available to help you get the most out of your NDIS journey.
