NDIS Support Coordination | Sydney, Central Coast
Living Strength Occupational Therapy is a registered NDIS provider. We are registered for Assist-Life Stages, Transition and Support [0106] and Support Coordination [0132] in NSW.
Our support coordination services take the stress out of understanding and implementing your NDIS plan. We specialise in interpreting your NDIS plan and end-of-year NDIS plan report. Our support coordination team is led by Barbara Luka, who has extensive experience in this area.
We provide services in the Sydney metropolitan area and on the NSW Central Coast. However, if you’re outside these areas or we can’t meet in person, we will video conference with you as needed.
A support coordinator connects participants who have an NDIS plan to supports and services in their community. We aim to complement your life and help put your NDIS plan into action.
A support coordinator can help you:
After we receive the referral request, our admin team will meet with you to discuss your NDIS plan and assess how we can best help you achieve your NDIS goals.
We may ask you to share information about yourself (such as name, NDIS number, disability and people most important in your life) so we can understand what goals you would like to achieve. We will then develop a service agreement that outlines how you and our Living Strength OT team will work together. If you choose us as your provider for support coordination, you will need to sign the service agreement and then our admin team will match you with the best support coordinator for your needs, goals and aspirations.
Your matched support coordinator will contact you to set up a planning meeting. We encourage your circle of supports to attend this meeting so we can fully understand your life.
During the meeting, we will talk about:
Together, we will develop a whole-of-life program that is tailored to you and reflects your needs, desires and aspirations. This will help you achieve the goals in your NDIS plan.
After the meeting, we will match you with the support staff of your choosing and services for you.
Your support coordinator will meet with you to discuss how your goals are being achieved. They will also help you navigate the NDIS by connecting and coordinating informal, mainstream and funded supports in a service delivery environment. We promise to walk alongside you in your NDIS journey and help make it happen!
Once your supports and services are in place, we will work with you to monitor your goals, needs and aspirations. We will keep records about how your goals are being achieved, which will give you useful information when you review your plan with the NDIA. This usually happens once a year.
As we work with you, we will also develop and strengthen your skills and confidence in taking control of your NDIS plan. Once you’re comfortable coordinating your NDIS plan, you may choose to manage your own plan independently.
We can help you to:
This is an individual process and everyone learns these skills in their own time. We won’t rush you in this process or force you to take on tasks you’re not comfortable with.
Every person is on a different journey, and everyone will meet roadblocks along the way. For some people, just being able to do everyday tasks can be lifechanging. This is why our therapists are trained in a range of health sciences. This allows us to take a holistic approach to your care and tailor services to your needs.
