Understanding the Role of a Support Coordinator with Penrose Care
Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be overwhelming, but with the right guidance, it becomes a powerful tool to help you achieve your goals. At Penrose Care, we understand that every individual’s journey is unique, and our Support Coordination services are designed to empower you to make the most of your NDIS plan.
What is Support Coordination?
Support Coordination is a service funded by the NDIS to help participants manage their supports and services. A support coordinator is your guide, advocate, and partner in ensuring that your NDIS plan works effectively for you. Their role is to assist you in understanding your plan, connecting with the right services, and building the capacity to manage your supports independently over time.
