We connect you to the providers that suit you best — and we’re transparent when one of them is us.
Founded by a registered psychologist, so coordination here understands mental health, behaviour and family dynamics.
Coordination in English, Arabic or Mandarin — your plan explained in your language.
No waitlist — we can usually begin working on your plan within the week.
We listen first — what’s working, what isn’t, and what a good life looks like for you.
We map your plan against your goals, then shortlist providers that genuinely fit — you choose, with clear pros and cons.
We keep the whole team accountable — tracking budgets, chasing providers and adjusting supports so your plan keeps delivering.
Every NDIS plan is different — and so is every life. Our coordinators work with participants of all ages and disabilities, anywhere in Australia, at whatever level of coordination your plan includes.
Coordinators who get sensory needs, routine and communication preferences — and find providers who do too.
NDIS registered provider — audited against the NDIS Practice Standards and Code of Conduct.
Experienced coordinators across all three levels, including Specialist Support Coordination (verify quals).
Psychology-led organisation — clinical oversight informs how complex situations are handled.
Culturally inclusive, multilingual team — coordination in English, Arabic and Mandarin.
Support coordination is practical work: understanding your plan, building your support team, and keeping it all running — so you don’t have to.
We translate your plan into plain language — what’s funded, what it’s for, and how to make every budget line work.
Shortlists of providers matched to your needs, location and preferences — with honest pros and cons. You choose.
Service agreements, bookings and schedules sorted — supports starting when they should, at the right price.
Budget tracking, provider follow-ups and problem-solving when things slip — before small issues become big ones.
Evidence gathered, progress documented, goals refreshed — so you walk into plan reviews ready, not rushed.
Coordination should make itself less necessary over time — we build your skills to manage supports yourself.
Good coordination widens your options. Here’s how we keep it genuinely yours:
Call 1300 615 193 or enquire online. We’ll check your plan includes coordination and answer your questions.
We pair you with a coordinator suited to your needs, language and location — and set up a service agreement.
Your coordinator maps goals, connects providers and gets supports started — then keeps everything on track.
LACs, planners, providers and families — referrals are simple. Send the participant’s details and plan information and we’ll make contact within one business day, keeping you informed throughout.
We accept referrals nationally, across all three coordination levels, including urgent and complex situations.
NDIS-registered, psychology-led coordination with capacity across Australia — including Specialist Support Coordination for high-risk participants. Fast intake, clear reporting, and independence in provider recommendations.
You don’t need anyone’s permission to choose your support coordinator — or to change to one who serves you better. If your plan includes support coordination, call us and we’ll explain how switching or starting works.
One call to check your funding, meet your coordinator and get moving — wherever you are in Australia. No waitlist, no pressure.

Understanding the NDIS can feel like learning a new language, especially when you encounter terms like NDIS Improved Daily Living, CB Daily Activity supports, or NDIS capacity building. Many people hear “Improved Daily Living” and assume it simply means getting day-to-day support. In reality, its purpose is completely different. NDIS Improved Daily Living sits within Capacity Building […]

Navigating the NDIS can be confusing, especially when it comes to Core Supports and what Assistance with Daily Life actually covers. Many people living with disability tell us this part of their plan feels familiar, but the rules, flexibility, and real-life examples often aren’t explained clearly. NDIS Assistance with Daily Life is the Core Supports category that […]
