It's called Support Coordination, and in this blog post, we'll break it down in simple terms. We'll explore what Support Coordination looks like within the NDIS and how it can make your life easier.
Understanding Support Coordination
Support Coordination is like having a friendly GPS for your NDIS journey. It's there to help you figure out where to go, what to do, and how to use your NDIS plan effectively. Support Coordinators are like travel guides who work with you to connect the dots and make your NDIS experience a breeze.
Here's a more straightforward look at what Support Coordination is all about within the NDIS:
1. Getting Started: Support Coordinators begin by understanding your goals, needs, and preferences. They help you understand your NDIS plan, breaking it down into easy-to-follow steps.
