Helpful Resources
Registered NDIS providers offer two levels of support for the participants – Coordination of Support and Specialist Support Coordination. While both roles are pretty similar yet, they differ in a few ways:
Specialist support coordinators are the ‘highest-ranked service’ provider for people with disabilities. They help identify and address challenges and make it more accessible for the participants to reach their destinations safely and accurately through NDIS.
NDIS gives participants flexibility regarding choosing the specialist support coordinator. Participants needing extra support throughout their journey with NDIS can decide to meet specialist support coordinators.
