How Can You Help Me Achieve My Goals?

This question helps you understand how your support coordinator plans to align your NDIS plan with your personal goals. Their role is to tailor their support to your aspirations, so it’s important to know their approach.

What Services Can I Access with My Current Plan?

Your support coordinator can clarify what services are available within your funding categories and help you explore your options. This ensures you’re not missing out on any opportunities.

Can You Recommend Reliable Service Providers?

Support coordinators have extensive knowledge of local providers. Ask for recommendations that suit your specific needs and preferences. They can also assist with arranging meetings and negotiating service agreements.

How Can We Prioritise My Immediate Needs?

If you have urgent requirements or pressing concerns, your support coordinator can help prioritise these in your plan. This ensures that critical areas are addressed promptly.

What Happens If My Needs Change?

Life is unpredictable, and your circumstances might evolve. Ask how your support coordinator will handle changes to your situation and whether they can help adjust your plan accordingly.

How Will You Keep Me Informed About My Plan’s Progress?

Communication is key. Find out how often your support coordinator will provide updates and what methods they’ll use to keep you informed about your plan’s implementation.

What Support Can You Offer During a Plan Review?

NDIS plans are reviewed periodically, and preparation is crucial. Ask how your support coordinator will assist with gathering evidence, submitting reports, and advocating for any necessary changes.

How Can You Help Me Build My Independence?

One of the goals of the NDIS is to promote independence. Your support coordinator should be able to explain how they’ll help you build the skills and confidence to manage aspects of your plan independently over time.

What Should I Do If I’m Unsatisfied with a Service Provider?

It’s not uncommon to encounter challenges with service providers. Your support coordinator can guide you on resolving issues or transitioning to a new provider if necessary.

Are There Any Additional Resources or Supports I Should Know About?

Support coordinators often have access to valuable resources, programs, and networks. Ask if there are any additional supports that could benefit you, even beyond what’s included in your NDIS plan.

Asking these questions helps you build a stronger partnership with your support coordinator and ensures your NDIS plan is implemented effectively. At A1 Coordination, we’re here to empower you with the knowledge and support needed to unlock your full potential.
