In general, Support Coordination involves us helping you get all your supports up and running and operating optimally. This includes informal, mainstream and community supports, as well as funded supports.

Support Coordination is a capacity building support which helps build your ability to act independently. We can help you to navigate the NDIS through the different stages of your journey. This can include empowering you to access and co-ordinate your supports, and providing assistance to help you participate more in your community.
Our role is to support you to quickly get your funded plan up and running.
If you would like us to be your Support Coordinator – it is important that you nominate Instacare as your preferred Support Coordinator to your planner and they will forward us a ‘Request for Service – Coordination of Supports’ form which will help us tailor our support approach to you.
Instacare is an NDIS Registered Provider for Support Coordination services.

Connection
Instacare offers two levels of support coordination with variable levels of assistance depending on your individual situation:
1. Support Connection
We can provide short-term assistance to implement your NDIS plan, including identifying service providers and negotiating Service Agreements.
2. Coordination of Supports
We can provide longer-term assistance to build your capacity to navigate the complexity of services and supports you need from a range of providers.
The NDIA will consider your circumstances and fund the most appropriate level of Support Coordination. If you’re in your first plan, and you don’t have the assistance of a Local Area Coordinator, it’s most likely that Support Connection and Coordination will be funded.
Support Coordination is all about enhancing your ability to manage and direct your own services. It provides the flexibility to help you find the community, employment and accommodation options that are right for you.
