NDIS SPECIALIST SUPPORT COORDINATION
WHAT IS NDIS SPECIALIST SUPPORT COORDINATION?
NDIS specialist support coordination is a higher level of support. The focus is on reducing complexity in the participant’s support environment and helping the participant overcome immediate and/or significant barriers in plan implementation. Specialist support coordination helps participants:
• Address complex barriers that affect their access to supports
• Design a service plan for their support needs, where appropriate.
Specialist support coordinators are appropriately qualified allied health practitioners and experienced to deliver the expert approach that is needed to address a participant’s complex support needs and/or risks in their environment.
An NDIS Specialist Support Coordinator is essential for participants with complex needs because they help reduce the complexity in the participant’s support environment and overcome significant barriers to accessing and maintaining supports.
Here are some key reasons why they are needed:
Addressing Complex Barriers: They help participants identify and understand barriers that affect their ability to access and use supports. They work with participants, their families, and carers to find and try solutions to these barriers
Designing Service Plans: For participants with significant complexities, they design service plans that ensure all services work effectively together to help the participant pursue their goals.
Navigating Systems: They assist participants in navigating complex systems and accessing the supports and services they need to live fulfilling lives.
Empowering Participants: They empower participants by building their capacity and capability to understand their plan, make decisions, and manage their supports.
Crisis Management: They help participants and their support network prepare for unexpected situations and ensure consistent delivery of services during crises.
In essence, a Specialist Support Coordinator provides tailored, expert support to help participants achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.
