You can request ‘support coordination’ to be included in your plan. Support coordination is a capacity building support to implement all supports in your plan, including informal, mainstream, community and funded supports. This may include supporting you to:
- assess a number of mainstream, community, informal and provider options
- choose preferred options or providers
- negotiate services to be provided and their prices, develop service agreements and create service bookings with preferred providers
- negotiate services and prices as part of any quotable supports
Support coordinators may also assist you to:
- get ready for your plan review by helping you to:
- assess whether you achieved your goals and got value for money for your plan
- identify solutions to problems experienced in implementing the plan
- consider new goals
- decide on what actions to take to achieve goals in relation to exploring housing options and life transition planning
