Frequently asked questions

Do I have to use a support coordinator?
No. Support coordination is optional. If it is funded in your plan, you can choose to use it or manage your supports independently. Many people find it helpful when first starting the NDIS.
How often will I hear from my support coordinator?
This depends on your needs. Most participants have contact weekly or fortnightly, especially when setting up new services. Contact reduces as you become more independent in managing your supports.
Can my support coordinator also provide my other supports?
While not prohibited, it is generally recommended that support coordinators remain independent of your other service providers to avoid conflicts of interest and ensure impartial advice.
What is specialist support coordination?
Specialist support coordination is a higher level for participants with complex needs, often involving multiple services, housing, justice, or health system interactions. It requires additional qualifications.
