How can Compass Support Coordination Navigators assist?
Support Coordination under the NDIS
Support Coordination is a funded service under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) designed to help participants understand, navigate, and implement their NDIS plans. The goal of Support Coordination is to empower participants to build their capacity to manage their own supports, connect with services, and achieve their goals.
Types of Support Coordination
The NDIS funds three levels of Support Coordination based on a participant’s individual needs:
- Support Connection – Short-term support that helps participants connect with informal, community, and funded supports to enable them to get the most out of their NDIS plan.
- Support Coordination (Coordination of Supports) – More comprehensive assistance that helps participants strengthen their ability to coordinate their supports, build capacity, and manage service providers effectively.
- Specialist Support Coordination – For participants with more complex needs or high-level risks, requiring specialist intervention to address barriers and ensure consistent service delivery.
Role of a Support Coordinator
A Support Coordinator assists participants by:
- Helping them understand their NDIS plan, including funding categories and how to use them.
- Connecting them with service providers and community supports that align with their goals.
- Assisting with service agreements and ensuring services are delivered effectively.
- Supporting participants in building the skills to manage their own supports over time.
- Resolving issues and addressing barriers that may arise in service delivery.
- Helping participants prepare for NDIS plan reviews by reflecting on their progress and future needs.
Who Can Access Support Coordination?
Support Coordination is not included in every NDIS plan. It is funded based on individual circumstances, such as complexity of needs, lack of informal support networks, or difficulty in navigating the system. Participants can request Support Coordination during their planning meeting or plan review.
Benefits of Compass Support Coordination
