Local Area Coordinators (LAC) help NDIS participants and carers define and work towards their goals. Every NDIS plan has an assigned LAC that will be yours to work with. An LAC will help you with:
Finding relevant information that you need.
Understanding the NDIS system and your journey through it.
Creating your NDIS plan with individualised support and goals. The actual approval of the plan sits with the NDIA.
Implementing your NDIS plan, including access the disability services you need. Your LAC is also the person to contact with any questions you have.
Assessing your plan regularly to make sure you're on track with your goals, have the best service providers on board, and make changes if needed.
