NDIS SUPPORT COORDINATION BRISBANE

Being cleared for an NDIS plan is just the first part of the process. After that, you need to implement it. 

How you do that, though, isn’t always clear. That’s where our NDIS Support Coordinators with Whole Hearts and Minds Services in Stafford, Brisbane, can help. Support Coordination lets you make the best possible use of your plan and helps you to build capacity. Our coordinators are here to help you every step of the way. 

Our NDIS support coordination helps you in five main ways: 

1. Understanding the goals of your NDIS plan and how you can reach them
2. Connecting you with services that can improve your wellbeing
3. Build your ability to be more independent
4. Decide when you want to access services and how much you want to pay
5. Helping you coordinate your supports, including service bookings

The purpose of NDIS Support Coordination is to help you build the skill to understand your plan. We will work with you to ensure that you have access to a mix of support that will help you to manage service delivery, improve your relationships, and live more independently in the community. Eventually, you may feel confident in arranging your own plan. At that point, you will no longer require support. 

Who Qualifies for an NDIS Support Coordinator with Whole Hearts and Minds Services?

There are a large number of people living in the wider Brisbane area who are currently on NDIS plans. However, not all of them receive NDIS support coordination.

Whether NDIS support coordination is a part of your plan depends on your circumstance. The NDIS makes funding available for support coordination where it is “reasonable and necessary” to help you achieve your goals. The agency provides it in addition to any existing support you may be getting from friends, family and other government or community services. 

Your NDIS plan usually states the level of support that you require. For some, service access support requirements are minimal while for others, given their complex needs, they are extensive. Furthermore, even if you do not qualify for funding, you can still choose to purchase a level of support that meets your needs.

Here are some signs that you have found a great NDIS support coordinator: 

• They always put your needs first. Coordinators should help you put your NDIS plan into action. They should respect your decisions concerning the types of supports you require. 
• They should communicate professionally. Great coordinators know that managing your plan effectively requires liaising with multiple parties, including the NDIS. They should be able to tell you what services your plan qualifies you for, and what you’ll have to pay for as extras. 
• They must focus on outcomes. The purpose of NDIS plans is to improve how you function in many areas of your life. Great coordinators always have this as context for making decisions that serve you best.
