Support Coordination
Gold Coast Community Lifestyles provide quality Support Coordination in the Tweed and Gold Coast regions, to assist you through the NDIS process and build your capacity to make the most of your NDIS plan.
What is Support Coordination?
Support Coordination is a funded support that the NDIS will add to your plan if you are eligible. Not everyone will have Support Coordination as it is a specialised support that is provided where a Local Area Coordinator (LAC) will not be sufficient to assist a participant or primary carer to implement the plan.
A Support Coordinator will provide;
- Assistance to understand your Plan and how to make it work for you
- Linking to the services that your NDIS Plan can purchase
- Understanding how to get the right providers for your needs and how to feel confident when communicating with them
- Help to set up, maintain and monitor your NDIS MyPlace Portal – the online interface between yourself and the NDIS funding you receive
- Support to resolve issues as they arise
- Assistance to prepare for unscheduled and annual reviews with the NDIS
In addition to our general NDIS capacity building GCCL Support Coordinators have specialised areas of expertise and can support you through the following transitions;
- Housing
- Education and Learning
- Finding open employment
We also work closely with participants engaged with third party services like
- Child Safety
- Justice Departments
- Adult Guardian and the Public Trustee
