Support Coordination with Participants with Psychosocial Disability. Support Coordination is a service available under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) that supports people with a disability to reach their goals in life and be part of their community. NDIS is designed to give participants choice and control over how they use their funding and who supports them.
Psychosocial disability is a term used to describe a disability that may arise from a mental health issue. A psychosocial disability defined by the NDIS Commission is a mental health issue that affects people's daily activities such as socialising or interacting with others in a social setting, learning or self-care or/and their capacity to fully participate in society. The aim for Support Coordination is to build a NDIS participants capacity for independence. This enables them to exercise choice and control in their lives. Did you know most new NDIS participants can get Support Coordination added to their plan? When a new participant gets a NDIS plan, you can request Support Coordination, it is a fully funded NDIS service. We often see participants and families/caregivers that are confused around how to properly spend the NDIS funding once they've been approved. There is certainly a gap in the space around helping people to utilise the money and also who to contact and what is available in the community. A Support Coordinator can fill this gap. |
What makes EPIC Coordination different than other Support Coordination Services?EPIC Coordination support coordinators are Mental Health Professionals whose aim is to strengthen participants’ abilities to coordinate and implement supports in their plans and to participate more fully in the community.

Person-Centred Approach.Our team embody the holistic person-cantered approach by working closely with you and your team of trusted supporters to help you achieve your goals and to make sure you are getting the most out of the funded support.
EPIC Coordination respects the individual, takes the time to get to know the participant and build on rapport. Building on the professional relationship helps us to have a deeper understanding of the participants experiences and goals, which will allow EPIC Coordination to further tailor the care. Participants are always treated with dignity and respect. This involves communicating in a respectful way, listening to what they have to say and taking on board their input. The participant is the expert of their lives. Confidentiality is maintained; unless the participants wellbeing is at risk. No information is shared unless the participant gives consent, the participant establishes what information they want shared and with who, you have rights when it comes to the management of your personal information. |
