Support coordination is a capacity-building service under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) designed to help participants effectively implement their NDIS plans. It ensures that participants can navigate the NDIS system, understand their plan, and connect with the right service providers.
Key features include:
- Understanding the NDIS plan: Helping participants interpret their funding and what it can be used for.
- Connecting with supports: Identifying and linking participants with appropriate service providers, community resources, and informal supports.
- Building capacity: Teaching participants how to independently manage their supports in the future.
- Problem-solving: Assisting in resolving issues with service delivery or accessing services.
- Coordination of supports: Ensuring all services are aligned and working effectively toward the participant's goals.
Types of support coordination:
1. Support Connection: Short-term assistance to help participants connect with services and manage their supports.
2. Support Coordination: Medium-level support for coordinating a range of services and building long-term capacity.
3. Specialist Support Coordination: High-level support for participants with complex needs, often involving health, justice, or housing systems.
Psychosocial recovery services are designed for NDIS participants with mental health conditions that cause psychosocial disabilities. These services aim to improve independence, community engagement, and overall well-being by focusing on recovery-oriented practices.
Key features include:
- Recovery-oriented approach: Encouraging participants to define and achieve their goals while fostering hope and resilience.
- Skill building: Enhancing daily living skills, communication, and social skills.
- Community engagement: Supporting participation in community, education, or work activities.
- Access to therapy: Connecting participants with appropriate mental health services or therapy options.
- Supportive environment: Providing consistent, person-centered care tailored to individual needs.
Psychosocial recovery services prioritise participant empowerment, emphasising the individual's strengths and potential for growth while addressing their unique challenges.
Both support coordination and psychosocial recovery services are integral in helping NDIS participants lead fulfilling lives by addressing their unique needs and fostering independence.
