Support Coordination assists people with disabilities, their families and carers to identify goals and aspirations they may have to live a good life. Working together, we create a Person Centred Plan and coordinate access to the services and supports they require to achieve these goals, live the life they want and interact with their community.
“We understand the importance of who supports you. It is your choice who is best.”

How Does It Work?
Your Support Coordinator will help you achieve your vision for a good life by providing information, options and guidance through the planning process. Support Coordination is tailored to your individual goals and aspirations and a Person Centred Plan is developed. Your plan is centred around you, includes your family and friends and serves as a vision or a dream of what is possible and important to you. The activities and actions that come about from the plan result in opportunities to build on existing interests and strengths, develop personal relationships and help you lead a happy, fulfilled, active and safe life.
Community
Your Support Coordinators have a good working knowledge of the local area ensuring that you are linked to your local community. Your Support coordinator has trusted relationships with local services, businesses, clubs and organisations. These connections provide greater options for the best possible outcomes to enhance your life.
Service Delivery and Support Networks
Interchange Illawarra recognises and values personal support networks. Personal support networks are your family, friends and your community connections that provide support to you in a way that suits you and your family. We understand the importance of who supports you. It is your choice who is best. This can be a family member or friend and/or an Interchange volunteer or support worker.
Flexible Approach
Your Coordinator will offer an individual/flexible approach to the planning, coordination and implementation of your Person Centred Plan. Your Support Coordinator understands that your goals and aspirations can change with time. You may want to take a different approach, change your supports, the people who support you or the services you use. We are able to work with you to make this happen in a timely manner.
