FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Support Coordinator and a Psychosocial Recovery Coach?
A Support Coordinator helps you navigate the broader NDIS system, set up service agreements, manage budgets, and connect with multiple service providers. A Psychosocial Recovery Coach in Melbourne focuses specifically on mental health recovery. They provide hands-on coaching to build resilience, establish daily routines, manage fluctuations in mental wellbeing, and connect with clinical mental health services.
Can an NDIS Support Worker help me access the local community and attend appointments?
Yes. Under your Core Supports (Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation), NDIS support workers in Melbourne can accompany you to social outings, sporting activities, hobbies, shopping trips, and medical appointments. Their focus is not just providing transport, but building your confidence and practical skills to participate independently.
How do I get Support Coordination or Recovery Coaching added to my NDIS plan?
Funding for these services falls under Capacity Building Supports. To get them funded, you need to demonstrate during your planning meeting or plan review that your situation involves complexity, mental health barriers, or significant changes where expert coordination is required to build your independence and keep supports stable.
Can I choose my own support workers and coaches, or do you assign them?
Choice and control are central to the NDIS. You have full say in who supports you. We match you with team members based on your personality, cultural preferences, shared interests, and specific support needs, and you can switch if the match does not feel right.
How are your services funded if I am Plan-Managed vs Self-Managed?
We support participants who are Plan-Managed or Self-Managed:
Plan-Managed: We send our invoices directly to your plan manager for payment, meaning no out-of-pocket expenses for you.
Self-Managed: We invoice you directly so you can claim reimbursement through the NDIS Myplace portal.
Do NDIS Eastern Suburbs Providers Work Across Melbourne?
Yes, while our roots are in the Eastern Suburbs, we proudly support participants across all Greater Melbourne metropolitan areas. We also extend our services to regional Victoria, offering flexible support options including in-person assistance and remote coordination where needed.
