Helping You Find and Manage the Supports in Your NDIS Plan
Empowrd provides personalised, local NDIS support to help you get the most out of your plan. Whether you’re new to the NDIS or managing multiple supports, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
We proudly offer Support Coordination and Support Connection to participants in Port Lincoln, Whyalla, Ceduna, Kimba, Streaky Bay, Tumby Bay and surrounding areas.
What Is Support Coordination?
NDIS Support Coordination is designed to help you understand your plan, connect with providers, and make sure your supports are working for you.
Our Support Coordinators work with you to:
- Navigate the NDIS system
- Coordinate services from multiple providers
- Set and adjust your goals
- Problem-solve issues with your supports
- Prepare for plan reviews and life changes
Support Coordination is ideal for people who have more complex needs or multiple supports in place. It provides guidance, advocacy, and confidence to make informed decisions and build your capacity over time.
What Is Support Connection, and Who Is It For?
Support Connection is a short-term NDIS support that helps you start using your plan.
If you're new to the NDIS or need a little help getting started, Support Connection can help you:
- Understand what your plan includes
- Link with local providers
- Learn how to use the NDIS portal
- Start building your independence and confidence
This service is best suited to participants who can manage their plan over time but need support at the beginning.
