My Approach

QUALIFICATIONS

1. Person-Centred Planning

In person-centred planning, the focus is on understanding what truly matters to the participant - their goals, strengths, cultural background, and daily support needs. The coordinator works alongside the individual (and their family or carers) to build a support plan that reflects their choices and preferred way of living, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Service Coordination & Connection

In service coordination, the focus is on linking the participant with the right providers, ensuring those services match their needs, and supporting them to access local resources — including health, therapy, housing, or community programs. The coordinator also helps streamline communication between providers so the participant receives consistent and reliable care.

Capacity Building Support

In capacity building, the coordinator helps the participant develop the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to manage their supports more independently. This may include learning to navigate the NDIS, understanding budgets, accessing community services, or building skills to self-advocate and make informed decisions.

Monitoring & Review Support

This method involves regularly checking in with the participant to make sure supports are working effectively, goals are being met, and any issues are identified early. The coordinator helps prepare for NDIS plan reviews, gathers reports, and ensures the participant’s voice is clearly represented so their next plan reflects their current needs.
