Flintwood Disability Services offers dedicated Support Coordinators for Participants aged 18-65.
Our Support Coordination service is anindependent arm of Flintwood and has no conflict of interest with Flintwood as an NDIS Service Provider.
A Support Coordinator is a link between participants and service providers. They help to identify your needs and then connect you with suitable services. If you find organising your care and services difficult, a Support Coordinator can remove this worry and be a link between you and the services you choose.
First, they’re able to connect you with services if you find it difficult or if you’re unable to do this yourself. And then they can work with you to build your confidence and skills. If you wish, a Support Co-ordinator can help you learn the skills to co-ordinate and arrange your own supports. They will work with you to build your resilience and capacity to act on your own behalf.
As you work towards becoming more independent, you can (if you like) gradually take on more control over your choices of activities, services or treatments. Independence is a great feeling. And we know things may not always run smoothly, so crisis resolution may also be part of your Support Co-ordinator’s role.
If you will always require help with your support co-ordination, then your Support Co-ordinator will continue to act for you indefinitely. They’ll arrange services, therapies, treatments and activities around your availability and goals. They’re here to be your partner and to help you extract the most benefit from your NDIS allocation.
