Support Coordination
NDIS Support Coordinator in Melbourne
Make the most of your NDIS plan without the stress. Our dedicated support coordinators in Melbourne handle the complex parts so you can focus on living well.
What Does an NDIS Support Coordinator Do?
A support coordinator helps you understand and use your NDIS plan. Think of them as your guide — someone who knows the system, can connect you with the right services, and helps you get the most value from your funding. They don't provide direct care. Instead, they help you build the team around you.
As your NDIS support coordinator in Melbourne, we help you navigate the system with confidence. We explain your funding clearly, find providers that match your needs, and support you to make informed choices about your care.

Who Needs Support Coordination?
Support coordination is for NDIS participants who:
- Are new to the NDIS and feeling unsure where to start
- Have complex support needs across multiple providers
- Want help understanding what their funding can be used for
- Need assistance preparing for a plan review
- Are looking to switch providers or try new services
How is Support Coordination Funded?
Support coordination is funded under your NDIS plan's Capacity Building budget. If it's not currently in your plan, you can request it at your next plan review. We can help you make the case for why you need it.
“The most rewarding part of support coordination is watching someone go from feeling overwhelmed by their plan to feeling genuinely in control. We typically spend 3 to 6 hours per month with each participant — enough to build trust and make real progress without being intrusive.”
— Rachel Okonkwo, Lead Support Coordinator, Beside You Care
Support Coordination FAQ
What's the difference between a support coordinator and a plan manager?
A support coordinator helps you find and connect with services. A plan manager handles the financial side — paying invoices and tracking your budget. Some people have both.
Can I choose my own support coordinator?
Yes. You have choice and control over who coordinates your supports. If you're not happy with your current coordinator, you can switch.
Do you provide support coordination across Melbourne?
Yes. We provide support coordination across Melbourne's eastern suburbs including Monash, Knox, Boroondara, Whitehorse, and Manningham.
