What Is Support Coordination?

Support coordination is an NDIS-funded capacity-building service that helps participants understand and implement their NDIS plan, connect with suitable providers, and build confidence in managing their own supports over time.

Connecting You with the Right Services

Support coordination helps you make the most of your NDIS plan by connecting you with the right therapists, support workers, housing, employment, and community services. We take the time to understand your needs, goals, and preferences while building your capacity to manage supports independently over time.

Psychosocial Recovery Coaching

For participants with a primary psychosocial disability, our psychosocial recovery coaches provide recovery-oriented support. They work with you to build resilience, coordinate services, and improve wellbeing in the context of mental health recovery.

Available: All major Australian cities and regional areas. In-person, phone, and video support.

Format: In-person, video, or phone appointments

Funding: NDIS Capacity Building: Support Coordination and Psychosocial Recovery Coaching. Private pay options available.

Suitable for: Self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. Psychosocial disability participants. Private clients and carers.

Not suitable for: Immediate medical or psychiatric emergencies. Support coordination is not a crisis service.

Psychosocial Recovery Coaching

Our recovery coaches support participants living with psychosocial disability, focusing on recovery goals, skill building, community connection, and mental health support through a trauma-informed approach.

NDIS Funding Categories for Support Coordination

Support coordination services are funded under the Capacity Building budget in NDIS plans. There are two relevant funding categories:

Capacity Building: Support Coordination

For general coordination, provider engagement, capacity-building support, and help with plan implementation. This is the most common funding category for support coordination.

Capacity Building: Psychosocial Recovery Coaching

For participants with a primary psychosocial disability who need structured, recovery-oriented coordination support focused on mental health recovery and daily living.

Disclaimer: NDIS funding categories, pricing, and eligibility are subject to change. Always confirm current NDIS Support Catalogue pricing and your plan funding with your planner, support coordinator, or plan manager.

Support Coordination Without an NDIS Plan

You do not need an NDIS plan to access our support coordination services.

Private Clients and Carers Welcome

If you are not eligible for the NDIS or are waiting for your plan to be approved, we offer flexible private-pay options for coordination support. No eligibility paperwork is required.

Ideal for Aged Care, Mental Health and Complex Needs

We assist private clients navigating multiple services such as mental health care, housing, medical supports, or community programmes who need help making it all work together.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between support coordination and psychosocial recovery coaching?

Support coordination helps all NDIS participants connect with services and manage their plans. Psychosocial recovery coaching is specifically for people with a primary psychosocial disability and focuses on mental health recovery, resilience building, and long-term wellbeing using a trauma-informed approach.

Do I need to be self-managed to use your services?

No. We work with both self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. If you have a plan manager, we can liaise directly with them to ensure coordinated service delivery and accurate invoicing.

How quickly can I start?

Once you enquire, our intake team will work to match you with a suitable coordinator or recovery coach as promptly as possible. Contact us on 1800 632 763 to discuss current availability.

Can I access support coordination without an NDIS plan?

Yes. We offer private coordination services for individuals, families, and carers who need help managing complex care arrangements, accessing services, or navigating local systems. No NDIS plan or eligibility paperwork is required.

What areas do you cover?

We provide support coordination and recovery coaching across all major Australian cities, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, and Hobart, as well as regional and rural areas. Services are available in-person or via telehealth depending on your location and preference.
