Connecting you to the services you need

NDIS Case Coordination - Disability Services & Aged Care Support - ConnectAbility

Coordination of Support – National Disability Insurance Agency

ConnectAbility Australia is registered through the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to provide Coordination of Support – “Assistance to strengthen customers’ abilities to coordinate and implement supports and participate more fully in the community.”.
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is an independent statutory agency, whose role is to implement the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which will support a better life for hundreds of thousands of Australians with a significant and permanent disability and their families and carers.

What is Coordination of Support?

Coordination of Support can include initial assistance with linking you with the right providers to meet your needs, assist to find appropriate service providers, coordinate a range of supports both funded and mainstream and build on informal supports, resolving points of crisis, parenting training and developing connections important to you in your community.
The NDIA has a three-tiered approach to funded coordination of support
  • Personal hygiene: such as showering, toileting and personal care
  • Nutrition: such as shopping for groceries and planning for and preparing a healthy meal
  • Maintaining cleanliness in your home: such as housework, laundering of clothes and addressing maintenance issues or repairs
  • Communicating with service providers and support networks
  • Transport and travel: such as planning your journey, accessing public transport and trouble‐shooting issues.

Support Connection

Supports are time limited (e.g. 1 hour per week) supports to strengthen your ability to connect with informal, mainstream and funded support, and to increase your capacity to maintain support relationships, resolve service delivery issues, and participate independently in managing your NDIS supports and plans.

Support Coordination

This level assists to strengthen your abilities to connect to and coordinate informal, mainstream and funded support in a complex service delivery environment. This includes resolving points of crisis, developing capacity and resilience your support networks and coordinating supports from a range of service providers who may be required to help you meet your needs and goals e.g. behaviour support; speech therapy; occupational therapy; physiotherapy.

Specialist Support Coordination

The highest tier of support set within a therapeutic framework, necessitated by specific high-level risk in a person’s situation. This support is time limited and focuses on addressing high risk/complex barriers and reducing complexity in the support environment, while assisting you to connect with appropriate supports and services.
