There are three levels of support coordination:

How do I choose a NDIS Support Coordinator?
There are over 1,500 Support Coordinator organisations registered with the NDIS – so how can you make sure you’re choosing the right one? The right Support Coordinator organisation:
- Does not deliver direct disability supports themselves
- Has a large network of service providers to choose from
- Helps you make the right choices for your care needs
- Works closely with you to help you meet your goals
Cost of NDIS support coordination
If support coordination is included in your NDIS plan, there is no cost to you – your NDIS plan covers it under your Capacity Building budget. However, not everyone is eligible for support coordination.
For your best chance of having it included in your NDIS plan, you should highlight to your Local Area Coordinator (LAC) the reasons your disability, support network, limited experience and/or personal situation makes it difficult to coordinate your own supports.
