Understanding support coordination under the NDIS

A support coordinator helps NDIS participants implement their plans by connecting them with the right services and supports. Their day-to-day work involves researching providers, coordinating appointments, helping resolve service issues, and building the participant’s capacity to manage their own supports over time.

Under the NDIS, support coordination comes in three levels. Level 1 (Support Connection, $80.06/hr) helps participants connect with informal, community-based, and funded supports. Level 2 (Coordination of Supports, $100.14/hr) involves more hands-on plan coordination including crisis resolution and working with multiple providers. Level 3 (Specialist Support Coordination, $132.83/hr) is for participants with complex situations — this includes managing risks, addressing barriers to service delivery, and navigating the interface between NDIS and mainstream services like health and justice.

Most support coordinators meet with participants at least monthly, though this varies based on the complexity of the plan and the participant’s needs. Some participants need weekly contact during transition periods, while others with stable arrangements might only need quarterly check-ins.

When choosing a support coordinator, look for someone with strong local knowledge of providers in your area, a clear communication style, and a willingness to advocate on your behalf. A good coordinator should be responsive — if you can’t reach them within a business day, that’s a red flag. They should also be proactive about upcoming plan reviews and help you prepare evidence of how your supports are working.

Support coordination is funded under Capacity Building (CB Choice and Control) in your NDIS plan. The funding is finite and time-limited, so it’s worth discussing with your coordinator how they’ll use the allocated hours across your plan period.

What to ask before choosing an NDIS provider

Before signing a service agreement with any NDIS provider, including ADACSS, it’s worth having a conversation about a few key things. What are the hourly rates, including loadings for evenings, weekends and public holidays? What cancellation fees apply, and what notice period do they require? Who will your regular support worker or practitioner be, and what happens if they’re sick or on leave? How does the provider handle complaints? These questions are standard — any reputable provider will have clear answers.

If ADACSS is registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, they’re bound by the NDIS Code of Conduct and must meet service standards audited by approved quality auditors. This covers everything from worker screening to incident reporting. Unregistered providers can still be used by plan-managed and self-managed participants but aren’t subject to the same oversight.

It’s also worth understanding your service agreement before you sign it. The agreement should clearly state the supports being delivered, the price per hour or unit, any cancellation policy, how travel charges are handled, and how either party can end the agreement. Under the NDIS, you can usually change providers, subject to the notice and cancellation terms in your service agreement. If a provider’s service agreement doesn’t include a reasonable exit clause, that’s worth questioning.

If you’re unsure about any aspect of choosing a provider, your support coordinator or local area coordinator (LAC) can help. They can explain what to look for, accompany you to initial meetings, and assist with setting up service agreements that protect your interests. Keeping records of your interactions with providers — save invoices, note key conversations, and track whether the services delivered match what was agreed — will make plan reviews smoother and provide evidence if you ever need to raise a complaint.
