Ndis Support Coordination Services

If you are an individual with a disability and your NDIS provider has given you an access code to use at the center, you can drop into the center with your access code to get help with the coordination of your services. In some cases, individuals may need to coordinate their services at a different location than the provider’s center. In this case, you will need to coordinate your services at the center at which your services are being coordinated. You can use Coordination Support to ask the NDIS coordinator about your services, your goals, and key people who can help you. Coordination can help you and your family plan for services that are coming to you. It can also help you and your family plan for services that are not coming to you.

NDIS support coordination is a complex process, which an individual and support system must work together to achieve. This includes a process of assessment, counseling, planning, and implementation. Coordination support is a vital part of this process. We help people with disabilities and their family members understand the individualized plan and implement their plan. We can facilitate consultations with health professionals, assist in the planning of medical care and assist with accessing government services. We can also help people manage their finances and help with real estate issues. The transition from the community to the home is a challenging time for many people of all ages and circumstances. We can help with the transition from the community to the home, including helping with making arrangements for daily needs, accessing health care, and placing the individual in their home. We can also help with moving in and moving out of the home.
NDIS is a new government policy and funding model that is aimed at helping people with disabilities to live and participate with their families to full capacity. The NDIS is a managed health care system that aims to coordinate health care and supports, assist with planning and assist in accessing government supports such as income support, health care, and housing. The NDIS has had a rocky start with many issues, one of which is coordination support. Coordination support is vital for all people with disabilities, especially for people with intellectual disabilities who are least likely to be able to access and use support. The Coordination Center located in the community has been slow to respond to the needs of people with disabilities who have been waiting for coordination support services for months to years. This has resulted in many people with disabilities becoming stressed and frustrated.

Support Coordination NDIS FAQ

Hope Disability Support staff is often asked to explain the NDIS's various components. This article will focus on Support Coordination within the NDIS. We'll be discussing what Support Coordinators do and who they are.

NDIS participants can use support coordination to help them implement the NDIS plans, including funded and informal supports.

Support coordination may be included in your NDIS plan as part of the to help with choice and control. There are three types:

  • Support Connection
  • Coordinating Supports
  • Coordination of Specialist Support.

The number of hours spent on Support Coordination each year will vary according to the individual's needs. While some people might receive 50 to 100 hours (up to two hours per week), others may be able to access more hours. The NDIA spends around 3 to 4 percent of its total NDIS expenditure on support coordination.

Nearly 4 out of 10 participants have support coordination included in the NDIS Plan. This number can vary depending on your age (younger children get less) or which state or territory you reside in. 35% of participants in NSW get support coordination, while 31% receive it in Queensland, 42%, and 46% respectively in South Australia.

People who are most likely to be eligible for support coordination under their NDIS plan include:

  • Heritage of Torres Strait Islander or Aboriginal heritage
  • Complex needs, with low functioning and receiving multiple supports
  • young people in nursing care
  • Conditions of degenerative nature and supports that require ongoing active management and adjustment to meet the participant's changing requirements
  • Support for episodic mental and ill-health needs
  • Regular crisis management is essential
  • Families with low resources or few or no support networks
  • With criminal justice involvement or child protection in the past or present
  • With a history of challenging and changing support provision
  • With psychosocial disability

Participants who are classified as super-intensive or intensive during pre-planning get Coordination of Supports, and/or Specialist Help Coordination. A provider can deliver Coordination of Services and/or Specialist Help Coordination while being a participant's service provider. However, they must manage conflicts of interest.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme has approximately 1,500 registered Support Coordinator organizations. Many of these organizations are service providers.

A participant can get support from a coordinator to:

  • Evaluate all options available for community, informal, and mainstream support
  • Implement the NDIS plan, including assistance in choosing preferred providers or options. Over time, increase your ability to direct and manage your support and exercise control.
  • Use the NDIS my place portal
  • Organize assessments to determine the amount and type of funding needed (e.g assessment to determine what type of home modifications are required).
  • Negotiate services and prices, create service agreements, book services with preferred providers, modify provider service agreements, and help participants understand their responsibilities
  • Help plan managers to determine the budget for each type of support and how it will be spent.
  • Increase your opportunities to connect with community or mainstream services, including transport and health. Provide advice about housing options and life transitions
  • Get the most for your money (ensure you get the maximum value from your plan).
  • Help resolve any crisis, problems, or other issues that may arise
  • Perform specialist activities such as helping with plan reviews, looking at progress towards goals and looking at new goals, making decisions regarding value for money, assessing whether they achieved the goals and getting value for their plan, and troubleshooting issues implementing it.

As people gain more control over their access to services and support, it is likely that the NDIA will reduce its support for Support Coordination.

 Like the LACs support coordinators are very busy! This is why Support Coordinators are not able to do certain things. Support Coordinators do not:

 

  • Make a judgment about the suitability of the plan
  • For unscheduled review requests, contact NDIA
  • Transport available for participants
  • undertake plan administration or plan management
  • organize support rostering
  • Advocate
  • Provide disability support (except in special circumstances).

 

The legislation for NDIS contains rules regarding how Support Coordination should work.

To include Support Coordination in your plan, you will first need to contact your Local Area Coordinator or NDIA Planner. Support coordination is not available to everyone.

 

The answers to your initial access request and those you share with the LAC during the discussion will determine whether or not you are eligible for Support Coordination. It is also important to consider your level of functioning as well as the complexity of the issues.`

 

After your NDIS plan has been approved and Support Coordination is included, the NDIA planner will request that your preferred Support Coordinator organizations be contacted. These organizations will receive information about your plan, as well as details on the support they will need. Although they do not have to agree that you will receive Support Coordination, if they do, then a handover of the plan is made between the planners and support coordinators.

After you have signed up for Support Coordination, it is important to understand what you can expect of your Support Coordinator. They should:

 

  • Register as a provider
  • Contact you as soon as possible following the handover of the planner, ideally within 2 days. Meet with you within 5 days.
  • Understand the main service system's role
  • Learn the NDIS rules and legislation
  • Understanding the NDIS Price Guide is key to budget flexibility
  • Manage any conflict of interest or perceived conflicts. For example, if they coordinate your support, they will not necessarily be providing all your support. Instead, they should assist you in finding other providers if possible. Some exceptions may be made if there aren't enough providers or the Participant has very specific support needs.
  • Work with you to develop reports about your progress towards your goals that they can submit to the NDIA.
If it is reasonable and necessary, support coordination may be included in a plan. Support coordination may be funded by the NDIS plan for some people. The support coordinator is usually funded to help participants connect with and coordinate with more complex, informal, mainstream, and funded supports. They coordinate services from many providers or suppliers, address delivery issues, and build the resilience and capacity of their support network. People with complex needs or high support requirements usually get assistance coordination. Some Participants may be eligible to have Support Coordination funded as part of their plan even if there are no LACs or ECIS in the area (e.g. remote or very remote regions in Australia). The NDIA has a Local Area Coordinator who coordinates the planning and connects people with disabilities to the NDIS and the community.
