NDIS Support Coordination
Support Coordination at Civic
Support Coordination helps people with disability to understand and manage their NDIS plan independently, giving you greater choice and control.
Civic’s Support Coordinators work in consultation with you to optimise the usage of your NDIS funds. They can advise you about the flexibility of your plan and connect you to a wide range of service providers based on your interests, needs and individual goals.
If you’re funded for Support Coordination, our experienced team are ready to help. Our support coordinators can work with you to connect you with NDIS service providers and set up service agreements and are here to help you navigate any complex or unexpected situations that may arise.
At Civic we focus on you – achieving your goals and supporting your decisions – so you can live life the way you choose.
Civic has experienced support coordinators (Levels 2 and 3) with immediate capacity. To engage a support coordinator, please contact us today on 1300 692 484 or email enquiries@civic.org.au today.

- Ensuring that you feel in control of your supports
- Assisting you in creating goals and decisions about the future
As part of your NDIS support coordination with Civic will be ensuring that your treatment plan meets the NDIS’s requirements. In order to do this, we will help you to prepare for your plan renewal meeting and organise a progress report on your current goals as well as a summary of the services you have been receiving.
We will also review the goals of your current plan with you, and help you decide what you want to achieve in the next 1-2 years on your new plan. We will also discuss the best ways to achieve your goals with you. You will also need a list of your formal supports (medical practitioners and carers from Civic) and anyone who helps you informally (family and friends).
