Support Coordination · Chapter One — What is this service?

Yourplanhasalottosay.Wehelpyouhearit.

Support Coordination — someone whose entire job is to read every page, find the right people, and make the whole thing make sense.

Chapter Two — Why it matters

Nobodyshouldhavetotranslatetheirownplanalone.

A plan is only worth what you can actually do with it.

Chapter Three — The three levels

Noteveryoneneedsthesamemap.

1Level 1

Support Connection

The lightest-touch level — help getting your first supports set up and understanding how your plan works. Built to grow your own confidence, not your dependence on a coordinator.

2Level 2

Coordination of Supports

The most common level. Ongoing, practical help — building your support team, coordinating between providers, resolving problems as they surface, preparing you for your next review.

Provided by WSS

3Level 3

Specialist Support Coordination

For complex or higher-risk situations. Usually time-limited, delivered by a coordinator with real experience in your circumstances — focused on stability and safety, not indefinite case management. At WSS it is delivered by a combination of appropriately qualified WSS staff and external specialists.

Chapter Six — What happens next?

Afewhonestanswersfirst.

It's set out in your plan and depends on your assessed needs, your level, and how complex your situation is. We'll look at your plan with you and tell you plainly what's there — not guess.

Yes. Support coordination is a service like any other in your plan — you choose the provider, and you can change providers if it's not the right fit.

No — it sits alongside them. A coordinator doesn't provide personal care, therapy, or daily support themselves; their job is to help you find and manage the providers who do.

A good coordinator starts preparing well before it happens — tracking what's working, what isn't, and documenting that clearly for the NDIA, rather than scrambling in the final week.

Not quite. The role is specifically defined by the NDIS, funded through your plan, and focused on building your own capacity to direct your supports — not managing your life for you.

Tell us, or tell them directly. You're free to request a different coordinator — the goal is a working relationship that actually helps.

It can be, but it isn't in every plan. Whether support coordination is included, and at what level, is decided by the NDIA when your plan is made. Check your plan, or ask your planner whether it should be considered. We can't confirm funding for you, but we're glad to talk it through.

No. Getting in touch is an enquiry: a first conversation about what you'd like help with and whether we're the right fit. Nothing is booked or agreed until you've talked it through with us and decided to go ahead.
