Northern Rivers Support Coordination Services is a sole-trader NDIS provider based in Lismore that supports adolescents and adults to use their NDIS funding well. It offers support coordination, specialist support coordination for people with complex or high-risk needs, and psychosocial recovery coaching for people with a primary psychosocial disability. Coordinators help participants manage plan budgets, understand what is funded, and connect with clinical, housing, medical and vocational supports.
Specialist work begins with a risk matrix, completed with the participant, that sets out risks, who they may affect and the strategies needed. Because the practice serves the Northern Rivers and surrounding local government areas, support is delivered in person where the participant prefers to meet and through virtual platforms.
