The NDIS Support Coordinator plays a crucial role in the participants’ lives by managing their NDIS’s support scheme and checking on the individual’s goals. They work closely with the NDIS participants and families and address their needs and requirements. They monitor the service plan and take care of the budget. The participants are assured of receiving the best possible support and collaboration from the support coordinator to reach their goals and have a regular community life.
Some of the ways a support coordinator can help include:
- Managing resources effectively to get the most out of the participant’s NDIS plan
- Working with other people with disabilities and the service managers at and when required
- Mentoring the participant and making them learn to access the NDIS portal to monitor their funds and learn how to categorize budget
- Preparing for the NDIS review meetings to update about the whole process
- Keep records and invoices at hand for transparent partnership
With the assistance of a support coordinator, participants can feel more confident and empowered to manage their NDIS plan and achieve their goals.
