Benefits of Disability Support Coordination

Introduction

If you have an acquired brain injury or a physical disability, then it’s likely that you’re facing challenges to your independence. Being able to access the services and supports that you need is crucial for achieving the best possible outcomes in life. That’s where disability support coordination comes in. A disability support coordinator is a professional who helps NDIS participants make better decisions about their care and supports them in navigating their way through the NDIS system. In this article, we’ll look at what a NDIS coordination of supports does and how they can help improve your well-being as part of an NDIS plan.

Disability support coordination is a service that assists NDIS participants to improve their well-being and move toward becoming independent.

Disability support coordination is a service that assists NDIS participants to improve their well-being and move toward becoming independent. It does this by providing information about the NDIS, assisting participants with planning for the future, connecting them with appropriate supports and services, monitoring their progress, and helping them to manage any difficulties they may be experiencing.

DSPs work with you to create a plan so that you can access any services or supports that you need. They may also help you find new ways of doing things so that your life is more enjoyable or manageable.

The benefits of disability support coordination include:

  • It allows you to understand the difference between eligibility criteria for the NDIS and other types of financial support such as Centrelink payments or veterans payments;
  • It allows you to see if there are other options available before applying for funding through the NDIS;
  • It helps people who are already receiving funding through Centrelink – including people who have been granted permanent impairment status under previous schemes – assess whether they would be eligible for funding through the NDIS;
  • It helps people who have not applied yet but think they might need some extra help because they have high disability support needs;
