Navigating the NDIS can be complex, particularly when your plan involves multiple providers, higher support needs, or changing life circumstances. Our professional NDIS Support Coordination services across Adelaide and South Australia are designed to help you understand your plan, implement it effectively, and ensure your funded supports are working together to achieve meaningful outcomes.
We specialise in Level 2: Coordination of Supports and Level 3: Specialist Support Coordination, supporting participants with complex needs, psychosocial disability, and situations requiring advanced coordination, risk management, and advocacy.
What Is NDIS Support Coordination?
NDIS Support Coordination is a funded Capacity Building support that assists participants to:
- Understand their NDIS plan, funding categories, and funded supports
- Source and engage suitable registered and non-registered NDIS providers
- Coordinate multiple services to ensure continuity, safety, and consistency of care
- Build skills, confidence, and capacity to manage supports over time
- Resolve service gaps, challenges, or breakdowns in supports
Support Coordination focuses on practical implementation, turning your NDIS plan into real-world supports that align with your goals, preferences, and circumstances.
Types of NDIS Support Coordination
Level 2: Coordination of Supports
Coordination of Supports is suitable for participants who require ongoing assistance to manage and coordinate multiple providers and services.
This level of support helps participants:
- Implement and manage their NDIS plan effectively
- Establish service agreements and schedules with providers
- Coordinate supports across different services (e.g. therapy, personal care, community participation)
- Monitor service delivery and address issues as they arise
- Prepare for plan reviews and adjust supports as needs change
Level 2 Support Coordination is ideal for participants with moderate to complex needs who benefit from structured, ongoing coordination to keep their supports running smoothly.
Level 3: Specialist Support Coordination
Specialist Support Coordination is designed for participants with highly complex needs or significant risks that require advanced coordination, specialist expertise, and intensive oversight.
This level of support is typically appropriate for participants who:
- Have psychosocial disability or complex mental health needs
- Experience frequent crises, service breakdowns, or hospitalisation
- Are involved with multiple systems (e.g. health, housing, justice, child protection)
- Face significant barriers to accessing or maintaining supports
- Require detailed risk assessment, crisis planning, and interagency collaboration
Specialist Support Coordinators work closely with participants, families, providers, and external systems to stabilise supports, manage risk, and build sustainable long-term arrangements.
How a Support Coordinator Can Help
Our Support Coordination services are delivered by qualified Social Work for NDIS Participants and Families, bringing a strong foundation in evidence-based social work practice to every aspect of coordination.
This professional background means our coordinators operate with a deep understanding of:
- Complex service systems and interagency collaboration
- Psychosocial assessment, risk identification, and safeguards
- Trauma-informed, strengths-based, and person-centred practice
- Advocacy within health, justice, and community systems
Our team has prior experience working across corrections and custodial settings, SA Health, prison and forensic services, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services, and community-based mental health and disability services. This experience directly informs how we support participants, particularly those navigating multiple systems, historical disadvantage, or systemic barriers.
By integrating social work expertise into Support Coordination, we provide:
- Proactive identification and management of risk
- Skilled advocacy and system navigation
- Culturally informed and trauma-aware support
- Effective coordination between the NDIS and external systems
Working with an experienced Support Coordinator in Adelaide provides:

- Greater choice, control, and confidence in managing your supports
Our approach is practical, participant-centred, and outcomes-focused, ensuring your supports are not only in place, but working well together.
Supporting Life Transitions
Life changes can significantly impact your support needs. We provide coordination and specialist support during transitions such as:
- Moving into supported or independent living
- Transitions from school to work or further education
- Changes in health, mental health, or functional capacity
- Hospital discharge or return to community living
- Changes in informal supports or family arrangements
Our role is to maintain continuity of care, reduce disruption, and ensure supports adapt safely and effectively as your circumstances evolve.
