Your NDIS plan is a tool. But a tool is only useful if you know how to use it. That's where support coordination comes in. We help NDIS participants across South East Queensland understand their plans, connect with the right providers, and actually make progress towards the goals that matter to them.
Your NDIS plan is a tool. But a tool is only useful if you know how to use it. That's where support coordination comes in. We help NDIS participants across South East Queensland understand their plans, connect with the right providers, and actually make progress towards the goals that matter to them.
Support coordination isn't about someone else making decisions for you. It's about having someone in your corner who knows how the NDIS works, who knows the local providers, and who can cut through the noise when things get complicated.
Support coordination is a funded support within your NDIS plan that helps you get the most out of your other supports. A support coordinator works alongside you — not above you — to make sure your plan is being used effectively and that you're moving towards your goals.
In practical terms, that means helping you find and connect with service providers, making sure those providers are delivering what they're supposed to, building your confidence to manage things independently over time, and stepping in when something goes wrong or a provider isn't the right fit.
It's funded under the Capacity Building section of your NDIS plan. Not everyone gets support coordination in their plan, but if you do, it's there because the NDIA recognised you'd benefit from that extra layer of help.
This is the lightest level. It's designed to help you understand your plan, connect with providers, and build the confidence to manage your supports independently. Think of it as a launchpad — once you're set up and confident, you may not need ongoing coordination.
Support connection is a good fit if you're relatively independent but need initial guidance on how to navigate the NDIS system and find providers in your area.
This is the most common level. Your support coordinator actively manages the coordination of all your supports, ensuring everything works together. They help you maintain relationships with providers, manage service delivery tasks, resolve issues, and build your capacity over time.
Coordination of supports suits participants who need ongoing help managing multiple providers, navigating plan changes, or dealing with situations that come up throughout the year.
This is the highest level, designed for participants with complex needs who face significant barriers. A specialist support coordinator has advanced skills in areas like crisis management, housing, health, and justice. They work to remove barriers, stabilise your support environment, and ensure consistent service delivery.
Plans can be confusing. Budget categories, line items, stated and un-stated supports, agency-managed vs. plan-managed funding — it's a lot to get your head around. We sit down with you, go through your plan, and explain what it actually means in practical terms. What can you spend the money on? What are the limits? Where is there flexibility?
Need a physiotherapist in Logan? An occupational therapist on the Gold Coast? A community nurse in Brisbane? We know the local provider landscape and can match you with services that fit your needs, location, and preferences. We also check that providers are registered (if required) and have capacity to take you on.
Your life doesn't operate in silos, and your supports shouldn't either. We make sure your therapy schedule doesn't clash with your community access program. We communicate between providers so your speech therapist knows what your OT is working on. We keep track of your funding utilisation so you don't accidentally run out mid-plan.
Providers not showing up? Care quality dropping? Funding running low? These things happen, and they're stressful when you're dealing with them alone. We step in, have the conversations that need to happen, and work towards solutions. If a provider isn't the right fit, we help you find an alternative.
When your plan review comes around, we help you gather evidence of what's worked, what hasn't, and what needs to change. A well-prepared plan review is more likely to result in a plan that actually reflects your needs.
The goal of support coordination isn't to make you dependent on us forever. It's to build your skills and confidence so that over time, you can manage more of your supports independently. We work at your pace and celebrate the wins along the way.
Support coordination is valuable for participants who:
Even if you've been with the NDIS for years, a good support coordinator can spot gaps in your services, identify underspending, and connect you with supports you didn't know existed.
Our support coordinators work across South East Queensland, with team members based in each region:
We actually know the local providers. Generic provider lists don't help much. We've worked with providers across South East Queensland and know who delivers, who's reliable, and who has capacity. That local knowledge saves you time and frustration.
We're responsive. When you call or email, you get a response. You don't get passed around between departments or left waiting for a callback that never comes. Support coordination only works if communication works.
We don't just file paperwork. Some coordinators treat the role as administrative. We treat it as advocacy. We push for what you need, and we don't settle for services that aren't up to standard.
We work alongside your other supports. If you use our community nursing services, your support coordinator and nurse communicate directly. That integration means better outcomes and fewer things falling between the cracks.
Step 1: Check your NDIS plan. Look for support coordination funding under the Capacity Building budget. If it's there, you're ready to choose a provider.
Step 2: Get in touch. Call us, email, or fill in our online form. We'll have a conversation about your situation and goals.
Step 3: Meet your coordinator. We'll match you with a support coordinator who has the right skills and knowledge for your needs. You'll meet them, discuss your plan, and set priorities together.
Step 4: Coordination begins. Your coordinator starts working — connecting you with providers, managing your supports, and making sure your plan is doing what it should.
Plan management is about the financial side — paying invoices, tracking budgets, and managing claims. Support coordination is about the service side — finding providers, coordinating care, resolving issues, and building your independence. They're different roles, and many participants benefit from having both.
Yes. You have full choice and control over who provides your support coordination. You can switch coordinators at any time if your current provider isn't the right fit.
Support coordination is charged at NDIS price guide rates. The cost depends on the level of support coordination you receive and the number of hours used. Your coordinator will track time and keep you informed about funding utilisation.
Not necessarily. Support coordination is most valuable when you need help finding providers, managing complex situations, or building new skills. If you're confident managing your plan independently, you may not need it — though many long-term participants still find it valuable for plan review preparation and provider management.
Our coordinators have backgrounds in disability, social work, community services, or allied health. They understand the NDIS framework, the local provider landscape, and the practical realities of living with disability. For specialist support coordination, our team includes coordinators with additional expertise in mental health, housing, and complex needs.
It's funded under the Capacity Building section of your NDIS plan. Your NDIA planner determines whether support coordination is included based on your needs. If it's not in your plan but you believe it should be, you can request a plan review.
