56 p/h You can think of this role as a kind of backup Support Coordinator, but with a focus on the week-to-week tasks rather than the big-picture accounting and financial planning that most SCs only have time for. The main issue I’ve come across in the NDIS world is that Clients either don’t have enough SC hours, or their SC is simply overworked. For Self-Managed Clients, this LC role can take a load off the Parent/Guardian, giving them more time to actually be that Parent/Guardian figure.
