NDIS Support Coordination
NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) Support Coordination is designed to help people with disabilities understand and implement their NDIS plans. At WesternCare Enterprise our Support coordinators will assist individuals in navigating the NDIS, connecting them to service providers, and ensuring they are making the most of their funding. There are three levels of Support Coordination, each offering different levels of support based on an individual's needs.
