Support Coordination
Turn your dreams into goals by making the most out of your NDIS plan, let's smash it!
What is Support Coordination?
When you've got an NDIS plan, choosing service providers is a great power, but it can come with its challenges – and that's where Support Coordination comes in!
Think of a Support Coordinator as your personal NDIS guide. They're here to help you navigate your plan, connect you with awesome people and services in your community and ensure you're making the most of all the fantastic support options available to you.
How do I access Support Coordination?
Is this service in my NDIS plan? In your NDIS plan, support coordination is funded by the Capacity Building Supports budget, under ‘Support Coordination’.

Real Stories
“I feel like I have a life again. That's what you've given back to me."
After an accident left Mandy on WorkCover, she found herself navigating a new world where her once vibrant life felt restricted. Simple pleasures became distant memories due to a lack of necessary support and equipment.
Recognising the need for greater support, Mandy sought help. In 2019, she secured NDIS funding and reached out to Life Without Barriers’ Support Coordination team for guidance in navigating the NDIS and optimising her NDIS plan.
Are Life Without Barriers Support Coordinators independent?
Absolutely! Our Support Coordinators are independent and ensure that you are the decision maker, every time. We understand the importance of choice and always provide you with a range of potential service providers.
If you opt for both Support Coordination and other services from us, rest assured, we handle these services independently to eliminate any potential conflict of interest.
