Support Coordination Success: Your First 30 Days Roadmap

Your first 30 days with a support coordinator are crucial for setting up the rest of your plan. A good coordinator should actively build a pathway to your goals, not just process paperwork. During this period, you should expect concrete actions that move you closer to your objectives.

Typically, your support coordinator will focus on four key areas:

• Mapping Services: They'll research providers that match your needs, preferences, and location.
• Contacting Providers: They should reach out to multiple providers to check availability, capability, and compatibility with your requirements.
• Booking Planning Meetings: They'll schedule sessions with you and potential providers to ensure everyone understands your goals.
• Building Your Service Pathway: They'll create a clear plan showing how different supports connect to achieve your NDIS plan objectives.

During this phase, you should be included in every decision. A coordinator who makes choices without your input isn't following NDIS principles. Remember: you are at the centre of your plan, and your preferences matter most.
