What is Support Coordination?
The goal of Support Coordination is to help participants to get the best outcome and results with your NDIS plan and implement an approved plan by supporting the participants to connect with the larger systems of support and understanding the purpose of the funding.
Support Coordinator’s will assist a participant to understand all aspects of the plan, help in the ongoing management and answer questions as they arise. Support coordinators work creatively and resourcefully with participants in how they utilise their support budgets to achieve their goals.
We assist community members to engage with services that meet their individual needs, thereby giving them choice and control in bigger life decisions.
Support coordination strengthens and enhances an individual’s capacity to coordinate supports, self direct and manage supports and participate in the community. We ensures that finances are available to enable participants to use the NDIS portal to resolve any issues that may arise.
Our experienced Support Coordination staff can act on behalf of the participant, to contact organisations, community groups and services to research your options and obtain quotes so you can make an informed decision about which services you would like to purchase with your NDIS funding.
One of our focus is to communicate effectively with our capped support coordinator to ensure the best quality supports are delivered to you.
What does this mean for you?
This means that upon your sign up with My Helpcare Services you will be allocated to a Support Coordinator with the appropriate expertise and wealth of knowledge to enable you to build a relationship/s centred on respect, openness, trust and ensure you feel supported in working toward your goals.
