Specialist support coordination is a higher level of support designed to help you address multiple barriers that may impact your access to support. If you feel your life circumstances are too challenging to cope with, even with standard support coordination, NDIS specialist coordination may be for you. At New Growth we can help you identify the difference between Level 2 Support Coordination and Level 3 Specialist Support Coordination and check your eligibility for a specialist support coordinator.
Specialist support coordination is a support service within the NDIS designed for those whose situations are more complex and who need an advanced level of assistance. This type of coordination goes beyond the standard scope, dealing with high risks, multiple stakeholders, and requiring a specialist approach to align with your support plan.
Specialist support coordinators are typically qualified and experienced practitioners such as occupational therapists, psychologists, or social workers who have expertise in addressing complex needs. They work closely with participants, their families, and carers to find the best service providers, legal complexities, and government agencies for those complex needs.
Specialist support coordinators can help identify and unpack the barriers you face, whether they relate to your disability, health, or living situation.
With their expertise, they tailor service plans that address and prioritise your needs and goals.
They facilitate collaboration between multiple providers, ensuring services are comprehensive, effective, and well-coordinated.
Specialist support coordinators can aid in crisis preparation and provide immediate assistance during emergencies.
Through a higher level of support, specialist coordinators work to improve the outcomes you can gain through the NDIS.
If you or your loved one have high-level disability needs, are impacted by multiple service providers, or are in a complex living environment that requires specialist housing solutions, you may benefit from NDIS specialist support coordination. It also may help if you’re dealing with legal issues, such as child protection concerns, an unsafe or domestic violence home environment, or other legal matters.
