What is Support Coordination?

Support Coordination, also known as Coordination of Supports (CoS), is a type of support that can be funded as part of an NDIS plan Support Coordination provides skilled assistance to participants to help access the right services and get the most out of their NDIS plan. 

A Support Coordinator’s role is to guide you to understand your plan and use your budget efficiently in order to achieve the goals set in your plan. This could include assistance in finding appropriate support workers or allied health professionals, booking appointments or support with your NDIS plan reviews.

Our knowledgeable team of Support Coordinators can assist you with:  

  • Connect to NDIS  

  • Be the intermediate between you and the supports and services in line with a participant’s wishes and their plan budget 

  • Monitor plan budgets and support effectiveness 

  • Build capacity and capability with the participant to understand their plan, navigate the NDIS and make their own decisions

Support Coordinators will help participants with different things depending on: 

  • What the participant’s goals, needs and circumstances are 

  • What is funded in the participant’s plan. 

At More Than Support we can offer you different options for this service according to what is established in your NDIS Plan.
