A Support Coordinator and a Specialist Support Coordinator are very similar however there are some key differences.
A Specialist Support Coordinator will be funded where there are additional high or complex needs in your situation and will be a qualified and experienced practitioner such as a Developmental Educator.
Specialist Support Coordinators will support you to manage challenges in your support environment which may include health, education, or justice services. Specialist support coordination aims to reduce the barriers that may be making it difficult for you to implement or use your NDIS plan.
