NDIS Support Coordination in Canterbury-Bankstown

We coordinate across Canterbury-Bankstown, including Bankstown, Lakemba, Punchbowl, Riverwood, Yagoona, Greenacre, Campsie and Belmore. With around 350,000 residents, it is one of the largest local government areas in Australia, and one of the most linguistically diverse.

Size cuts both ways here. There are plenty of providers with a Canterbury-Bankstown address, and still long waits for the supports people actually need, particularly psychology, occupational therapy and psychosocial support delivered with any cultural competence. A plan that names a support is not the same as a support that exists locally with capacity.

Our job in this area is often triage across that gap. What can start now, what is worth waiting for, and what needs a funding case built so the plan matches the person rather than the postcode average.

Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital anchors health services locally, and discharge into an unactivated NDIS plan is one of the most common ways people arrive at coordination here. The area also has substantial social housing, and where housing and disability intersect, coordination has to work with both at once.

We coordinate in English, Hindi and Nepali, and arrange interpreters routinely for the many other languages spoken across the area.

In Canterbury-Bankstown we provide support coordination, specialist support coordination and psychosocial recovery coaching.

We never coordinate and deliver direct supports for the same participant. No conflicts of interest, ever. We work with plan-managed and self-managed participants. Coordination is available in English, Hindi and Nepali. All NDIS supports are GST-free under section 38-38 of the GST Act.
