Introduction

Navigating the NDIS can feel overwhelming, especially when you are first approved or experiencing changes in your circumstances. Support Coordination is designed to help participants understand their NDIS plan, make informed decisions, and confidently use their funding in ways that align with their goals, needs, and preferences.

At Northern Star Support Services, we focus on empowering participants to take control of their supports by providing clear guidance, practical planning, and ongoing coordination throughout their NDIS journey.

‍

Why Support Coordination Matters

Support Coordination plays a vital role in helping participants turn their NDIS plan into real, meaningful support. Rather than managing everything alone, participants are supported to understand how their funding works, identify suitable providers, and coordinate services that work together effectively.

For many participants, Support Coordination reduces stress, prevents service gaps, and ensures supports remain flexible as needs change. It also provides reassurance that decisions are informed, compliant, and aligned with long-term goals.

Key Benefits of Support Coordination

Understanding Your NDIS Plan:

Support Coordinators help explain your plan, funding categories, and how supports can be used effectively.

Connecting With the Right Providers:

Participants are supported to find and engage providers that suit their needs, preferences, and location.

Coordinating Multiple Supports:

Support Coordination helps ensure different services work together smoothly and consistently.

Family Planning Support:

Discuss contraceptive options, fertility concerns, or preconception care in a safe, judgment-free environment.

Building Confidence and Independence:

Participants gain the skills and knowledge needed to make informed decisions and self-advocate.

Responding to Change:

As circumstances evolve, Support Coordinators assist with adjusting supports and addressing challenges early.

Who Can Benefit From Support Coordination

Support Coordination is suitable for participants at different stages of their NDIS journey, including those who are new to the scheme, managing multiple supports, or experiencing changes in their needs. It is particularly helpful for participants who want guidance, structure, and confidence when implementing their plan.

Northern Star Support Services provides Support Coordination with a person-centred approach, ensuring each participant feels supported, informed, and respected.
