NDIS Coordination of Supports
Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be complex, and understanding the role of coordination of supports is essential for participants aiming to maximize their plan’s benefits. Coordination of supports is a capacity-building support funded under the NDIS, designed to assist participants in implementing their plans and achieving their goals.
Understanding NDIS Coordination of Supports
NDIS coordination of supports involves a support coordinator working with participants to:
Understand and implement their NDIS plan.
Connect with NDIS providers, community, mainstream, and other government services.
Build the participant’s ability to exercise choice and control.
Ensure a mix of supports are used to increase capacity to maintain relationships, manage tasks, live more independently, and be included in the community.
There are different levels of support coordination:
Support Connection: Assists participants in understanding their plan and connecting with supports.
Support Coordination: Focuses on building the participant’s ability to manage their supports and live more independently.
Specialist Support Coordination: For participants with more complex needs, this level provides a higher degree of support.
Funding for coordination of supports is included in the Capacity Building budget of an NDIS plan, based on what is deemed ‘reasonable and necessary’ to pursue the participant’s goals, in addition to the support provided by family, friends, and other community and government services.

The Support Coordination Funding Process Explained
Understanding the support coordination funding process is crucial. The funding process for support coordination typically involves the following steps:
- Individual Assessment: Participants undergo an assessment to determine their eligibility for the NDIS and their specific support needs. This assessment helps inform the development of their NDIS plan, including support coordination funding.
- Plan Development: Participants work alongside their NDIS support coordinator and other relevant stakeholders to develop their NDIS plan, which outlines the necessary supports and services they require to achieve their goals. This plan specifies allocated funding for support coordination based on the individual’s needs.
- Plan Review: NDIS plans are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet their evolving needs and goals. During these reviews, funding for support coordination may be adjusted to reflect any new circumstances or goals.
- Funding Allocation: Once the NDIS plan is finalised and approved, the participant receives their funding for support coordination, enabling access to necessary services as outlined in their plan.
