FAQs

Support Coordination is an NDIS funded service that’s designed to help NDIS participants (and, if required, their family or representatives) to coordinate the support services in their NDIS Plan.

If you’re living with disability, your plan from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) gives you a set allocation of funding for a range of different support services.

The support funding in your plan is very specific and relates to helping you to achieve your personal goals. This might include a range of services such as in-home support, social and community access or therapy sessions. Your NDIS plan will state if you are eligible for Support Coordination.

Supports include informal, mainstream, community and funded support. This could be occupational therapy, social support, in-home support, job support, educational support, community engagement (to name a few).

A support coordinator has an in-depth knowledge of the NDIS. They can help NDIS participants to:

  • Determine their individual needs and development goals
  • Navigate the NDIS marketplace (including mainstream, community, informal and provider options) to find supports that are best suited to meeting their needs and goals
  • Communicate with support providers, to maximise the hours of support, and complete service agreements and bookings
  • Build capacity and exercise choice and control, for example by mentoring and teaching e.g. how to use the NDIS portal, monitor budgets and find providers
  • Monitor and record their progress towards achieving their goals
  • Prepare for a NDIS Plan Review and provide support during and after

Since July 2022, the NDIS has set the hourly rate for Support Coordination in metropolitan areas at $100.14. The rate for Specialist Support Coordination has been maintained at $190.54.

Psychosocial Recovery Coaching (PRC) is an innovative evidence-based approach to mental health support that empowers people to manage the challenges of their own Recovery.
