Support Coordination Melbourne

Unity Caring provides support coordination services in Melbourne, specializing in NDIS assistance. We understand that navigating the complexities of NDIS support coordination can be challenging, and that's why we offer compassionate and professional NDIS specialist support coordination services.

What is Support Coordination?

Support coordination is a vital service provided under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia. It aims to assist NDIS participants in effectively utilizing their funding and achieving their goals.

At Unity Caring, our support coordinators act as guides and advocates, helping participants navigate the complexities of the NDIS and connecting them with appropriate services and supports. This involves working closely with individuals, their families, and support networks to understand their unique needs, goals, and aspirations.

Our support coordinators collaborate with participants to develop personalized support plans that align with their objectives.

Empowering Lives Through NDIS: Building Community Connections and Social Flourish

The ultimate goal is an enriched life - one of independence, quality, and well-being, achieved by cultivating meaningful connections and an active presence in community life.

Bearing two wings, the NDIS encompasses CORE supports and CAPACITY BUILDING supports in a participant's plan. "Assistance with Social and Community Participation" falls under Support Category 4, nestled within Core Supports, designed to weave participants into the community fabric.

This support spans various activities and services promoting social interaction, community engagement, and skill development. Face-to-face services take the spotlight in this funding category.

Examples? Think personal development courses, social group memberships, outings, holidays, library visits, movies, concerts, sporting clubs, and community events. The aim? Enhanced social skills, meaningful connections, and a vibrant participation in community life.
