If your NDIS plan includes support coordination, you have a valuable resource to help you understand and use your funding. But many participants in Townsville are not quite sure what a support coordinator actually does. This guide breaks it down in plain English.

What is support coordination?

Support coordination is a capacity-building support funded in some NDIS plans. A support coordinator helps you understand your plan, explore your options, and connect with the supports and services that suit your goals. The aim is to build your confidence and skills so that, over time, you can manage your supports more independently.

What a support coordinator can help with

A good support coordinator works alongside you to:

  • Explain what each part of your plan is for
  • Find and connect with quality local providers
  • Coordinate your supports so they work together
  • Help you prepare for plan reviews
  • Navigate challenges and changes as they come up

You have choice and control over who provides your support coordination. It helps to choose a provider who knows the local Townsville community and services, communicates clearly, and genuinely listens to you.
