Support Coordination:

Stepping Stones Counselling & Coaching has over 16 years in the community industry and is committed to supporting individuals and families to reach their goals. I am guided by the participant and the family to implement the plan and work from a strength based approach to empower the individual and family.  I value the importance of supporting you to link in with the right services and assist you with preparing for your review.

You will have support from your local area coordinator but sometimes you might need that extra support and guidance to use your plan. Are you new to NDIS, or new to accessing services and feeling a little overwhelmed? Stepping Stones Counselling & Coaching can support you with;

·     Using the portal and understanding the price guide

·     Assist you to understand the plan

·     Increase your capacity to find appropriate supports by connecting you to your community

·     Assisting you to prepare for your review 

·     Assisting in ongoing management of supports

 A Support Coordinator I will assist you to negotiate with providers about what they will offer you and how much it will cost out of your plan. Support coordinators will ensure service agreements and service bookings are completed. They will help build your ability to exercise choice and control, to coordinate supports and access your local community. Support coordinators can also assist you in planning ahead to prepare for your plan review. Support coordinators will assist you to 'optimise' your plan ensuring that you are getting the most out of your funded supports. 

If you are plan managed or self managed for support coordination you have more choice and control over the services you engage with.

If you don't have support coordination in your plan and require assistance and support to access services please contact Stepping Stones Counselling & Coaching to explore how we can support you to get the most out of your plan.
