Not everyone with an NDIS Plan needs help with the coordination of supports. If you don’t have an existing support network behind you, or if you’d feel more confident with a professional, funds may be allocated in your Plan. You may be eligible to have a Support Coordinator now, but the NDIS may believe that in the future, you’ll develop the skills, knowledge and confidence required to navigate their system on your own. A Support Coordinator can help you with this kind of capacity building to make it easier for you to do it independently down the track. All Plans are created on a case-by-case basis, so you can request support coordination if you think it’s necessary. However, if you don't request support coordination and you meet the necessary criteria, it may automatically be assigned to you.
