What support coordination services does Life Without Barriers provide?
Through the NDIS, there are 3 levels of support coordination that can be included in your NDIS plan.
At Life Without Barriers, we offer Level 2 and Level 3.
Level 2: Coordination of supports
With Level 2, we can help increase your knowledge and confidence in navigating the NDIS and your plan. We can:
Connect you to NDIS and other government services.
Help you negotiate supports within your plan budgets or gather evidence to request a new NDIS plan.
Monitor your plan spend together and upskill you on the different types of plan management.
Level 3: Specialist Support Coordination (SSC)
It's like Support Coordination but with an extra touch! Our SSC team members, with backgrounds like social work, are ready to:
Tackle challenging service situations alongside you.
Develop plans and contingencies for more support options, especially if your needs change regularly.
In every aspect of Support Coordination, we’re here to guide you to set priorities, manage services, connect with opportunities, and truly understand your plan!
