Specialist Support Coordination Service

A specialist support coordinator provides the highest level of support coordination. They provide the same services as a support coordinator, as well as address specific complexities or barriers that may be present in your life. They should have extensive experience in the areas most relevant to you, and typically have qualifications to support the work they do such as social work, case management or other allied health disciplines. 

Specialist support coordination also tends to be time limited, meaning that it would be funded in your NDIS plan for a limited time for you to overcome and resolve more challenging situations. If you are unsure which form of support coordination would be best for you, book in a free 15 minute chat with one of our team members and together we’ll figure out the best fit for you. 

Yes – it’s quite common for people to have a range of professionals supporting them. A coordinator, counsellor and coach all have different roles and approaches, and deliver their services to assist you in different ways. You may have specific goals you want to work on with one professional and engage another to support you with resolving a specific issue or situation. 

The key is collaboration and communication between you and your team, making sure that everyone is working towards your goals and preferences. This helps with eliminating duplication of services and keeps things progressing. It is best practice to have one main anchor – a professional that’s across all of your supports and goals – with other professionals contributing with their area of expertise.
