Specialised Support Coordination

(also known as SSC)

Specialised Support Coordination is an enhanced form of Support Coordination available under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for individuals with complex needs. It provides specialised assistance to navigate and coordinate multiple and intensive supports.

Specialised Support Coordinators have in-depth knowledge and experience in working with complex cases. They help participants with complex needs understand and implement their NDIS plans effectively.

Specialised Support Coordinators work closely with participants to identify and address specific challenges and barriers they may face. They collaborate with various service providers, professionals, and community resources to coordinate and arrange appropriate supports.

Specialised Support Coordinators can assist with crisis planning, transitions, and managing challenging situations. They provide advocacy and ensure the participant's voice is heard in decision-making processes. Specialised Support Coordination focuses on building the participant's capacity and resilience to manage their supports independently. The service is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, considering their specific circumstances and goals.

Specialised Support Coordinators regularly review and adjust the participant's plan to ensure it remains effective and aligned with their changing needs. The ultimate aim of Specialised Support Coordination is to empower individuals with complex needs to achieve their goals, maximise their independence, and improve their overall quality of life.

With the right SSC, Specialised Support Coordination is an essential service for individuals with complex needs, providing them with the specialised assistance required to navigate their NDIS plans and access the supports necessary for their well-being and success. All SSC’s should be approximately qualified and experience to deliver the high quality service that is needed.
