NDIS Support Coordination - Pearson Allied Health Services

NDIS Support Coordination helps you to understand your NDIS plan

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is arguably the biggest disability reform in Australia’s history. Now people with Disabilities have more choice and control in the lifestyle they want. However navigating the NDIS can be challenging and to get the best outcome requires a good working knowledge of the NDIS, the operational guidelines and policies and procedures.

Pearson Allied Health Services has been involved with the NDIS since its inception and can support you in ‘understanding’ all things NDIS and support coordination is one way we can do this. Support Coordination is a NDIS funded service that assists you to understand your plan. There are three different levels of Support Coordination, and Pearson Allied Health Services can help you with all three.

Level three provides all the support that Level one and two do, the NDIS provide this specialist level where there are high and complex risks in a participant’s situation.

At PAHS we use highly skilled social workers who are trained to support you when you are facing particularly challenging or complex situations.

The NDIS describes Specialist Support Coordination as:
Being time limited and focuses on addressing barriers and reducing complexity in the support environment, while assisting the participant to connect with supports and build capacity and resilience. It may also involve development of an intervention plan which will be put in place by disability support workers
