Support Coordination

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has opened new opportunities for Australians under 65 living with disability.

With their first approved plan, people suddenly have access to funding that can bring together the services and supports they need. But even the most confident and independent person can feel unsure about the next step.

That’s where Muscular Dystrophy Queensland’s Support Coordination team comes in, working alongside people with neuromuscular conditions to understand their plan, connect with the right providers and make the most of their supports.

What is Support Coordination?

Support Coordination is a service that can be funded through your NDIS plan to help you make the most of your supports. It’s designed to build your capacity and confidence to navigate the NDIS and coordinate the services and supports you need to achieve your goals.

How can a Support Coordinator assist you?

Our Support Coordinators work alongside you to ensure your plan works for you. They can help you to:

  • Create your NDIS plan by identifying your needs, goals and the supports that will help you live the life you choose
  • Understand your NDIS plan and how to use your funding in line with your goals and needs
  • Navigate the NDIS’s system and processes, including plan reviews and reporting requirements
  • Explore your options and connect with local providers, community services and mainstream supports
  • Coordinate your supports across different services and ensure they work well together
  • Develop service agreements that clearly outline arrangements with your providers

What if I don’t have Support Coordination funding?

Support coordination funding is typically requested during the initial planning meeting with the NDIA or at a subsequent plan review. Our experience shows that support coordination provides significant benefits to members of our community. We encourage you to discuss this option with your NDIS planner during your planning session.

If you currently hold an NDIS plan without support coordination funding, or if you are in the process of applying for your first plan, our Infoline team is available to assist you in determining eligibility for this funding and how to include it in your plan.
