Support coordination starts with you

An NDIS plan can open up opportunities, but working out what it means and where to begin can feel overwhelming. Choose Your Supports helps you understand your funding, connect with services and put the supports you choose in place.

We take the time to learn about your goals, strengths and circumstances. Then we work alongside you to build a support network that suits you. You remain in control of the decisions about your life and your supports.

Choose Your Supports provides Support Coordination and Specialist Support Coordination for participants with funding for these services in their NDIS plan.

Someone who takes the time to understand

You are more than a plan, a diagnosis or a list of services. Your health, relationships, daily life and goals all shape what good support looks like for you.

Choose Your Supports is led by Jodie Cain, a Registered Nurse with extensive experience across hospital, aged care, community and disability services. Her clinical background gives her insight into complex health needs and the challenges of navigating different systems.

Jodie brings that experience to a personal, practical approach to support coordination. She listens, follows through and helps you make informed choices. Her aim is for you to feel heard, respected and supported throughout the process.

The ways we can support you

Understand your plan

We can talk through your goals, support coordination funding and the supports available in your plan, so you feel more confident about your options.

Find the right people and services

From support workers and therapists to community services and other providers, we can help you explore options, make connections and understand service agreements. You choose who you want to work with.

Bring your supports together

When several people or services are involved, we can help them communicate and work towards the goals that matter to you, with your consent.

Work through challenges

If a service is not meeting your needs, a support breaks down or your circumstances change, we can help you consider your options and make a practical plan.

Prepare for plan reviews

We can help gather relevant reports, document progress and bring information together when your plan is due for reassessment or your needs change.

Build capacity over time

Support coordination is also about helping you develop the skills and confidence to understand your options, speak with providers and manage more of your supports where you want to.
