Trusted NDIS Support Coordination in Melbourne

How Support Coordination Works
Support Coordination falls under Capacity Building in your NDIS plan and is separate from your Core funding. Using it does not reduce what is available for therapies, support workers, or daily activities.
Here is what your coordinator does for you:
- Identifies which providers are right for you
- Reaches out on your behalf and sets up NDIS service agreements
- Tracks how your budget is being used
- Prepares evidence and progress notes for your plan review
One participant joined Hyre Support Coordination after their previous coordinator had been unresponsive for months. Within six weeks, they had three providers in place and their upcoming plan review fully documented.
3 Levels of NDIS Support Coordination
For participants new to the NDIS who need initial guidance. Your coordinator helps you understand your funding and find the right support providers.
For participants with an active NDIS plan. Your coordinator manages your NDIS service agreements, monitors your budget, steps in when providers are not delivering, and prepares your plan review.
For participants with significant risk or complexity, hospital admissions, justice system involvement, or multiple support breakdowns, our specialist coordinators hold qualifications in social work, mental health nursing, OT, or psychology. Not all Melbourne providers offer Level 3. We do.
Is Your NDIS Plan Working for You?
Here are some signs your current coordination is not working:
- Providers get signed up but never contacted
- Service agreements sit unsigned for weeks
- Budget runs low because nobody is tracking it
- Plan review arrives with nothing documented
Some participants come to us after weeks or months of chasing updates from providers and hearing nothing back. Your coordinator stays involved throughout your plan, follows up when problems arise, and makes sure your review is supported by proper evidence rather than last-minute scrambling.
How to Switch Your Support Coordinator
You do not need the NDIA’s permission. You do not need to wait for a plan review. Here is how simple it is:
- Give written notice to your current provider based on what your service agreement says
- Sign a new service agreement with your new coordinator
- They collect the file and pick up from where things stand
Most participants switch over within one to two weeks.
One participant was nervous about having the conversation with their coordinator. We helped them write a short email. They were with us within ten days.
What Support Coordination Costs
NDIS Support Coordination is funded from your Capacity Building budget, with no out-of-pocket cost to you. We bill the standard NDIS hourly rate and will not exceed your budget without telling you first.
- Agency-managed. The NDIA pays us directly. Nothing comes out of your pocket.
- Plan-managed: Your plan manager handles the payment on your behalf.
- Self-managed. We send you an invoice, and you pay it using your NDIS funds.
Why Participants Choose Hyre Support Coordination
Registered and Accountable
We are reviewed against the NDIS Practice Standards. For Agency-managed participants, registration is a requirement, not a preference. Our registration number is available on request.
No Conflict of Interest
We do not provide personal care, transport, or any other direct support. Every recommendation we make is based on what best suits your needs.
We Handle the Complex Cases
We regularly support participants dealing with psychosocial disability, hospital discharge, and justice system involvement, rather than referring them elsewhere
No Waitlist
People often contact us after struggling to get callbacks or waiting weeks just to hear from someone. If we take on your case, you will speak to a real person and get started quickly.
We Flag Budget Issues Early
Unexpectedly running out of funding can leave participants without the support they rely on. We track your budget and let you know early if anything needs attention.
We Are Spread Across Melbourne
From Preston and Coburg in the north to Pakenham and Berwick in the southeast, our coordinators are based across the metro area, so no one has to travel far.
Multilingual team
Our team includes coordinators who speak Portuguese, Filipino, Italian, Macedonian, Turkish, and English. If language matters to you, let us know.
Who Can Access This Service?
We work with participants across all plan management types:
- Agency-managed. You can only use registered providers. We are registered, so you can choose us without changing anything else about your plan.
- Plan-managed: More flexibility over who you work with. Choosing a registered provider means an extra layer of quality assurance behind the service.
- Self-managed. We support a person-centred support approach, helping you stay across your budget while keeping decisions in your hands.
- Families and referrers. Whether you are in Frankston, Epping, or Box Hill, fill in our referral form, and we will get back to you the same business day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is support coordination automatically included in every NDIS plan?
No. It must be assessed as reasonable and necessary. If you think you need it, request it at your next plan review. A new diagnosis, hospital admission, or support breakdown are common reasons the NDIA funds it.
What happens to my unspent coordination funding at the end of my plan?
It does not roll over. Your coordinator should track your budget and flag unused hours well before your plan ends.
What questions should I ask before choosing a support coordinator?
Ask about their experience with your disability, how often they will contact you, and whether they are registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. If you are Agency-managed, that last question is non-negotiable.
What is the difference between a support coordinator and an NDIS plan manager?
A support coordinator helps you use your plan to find providers and manage your support network. An NDIS plan manager handles the finances, pays invoices, and tracks spending. Many participants have both.
Can I choose who comes to my NDIS plan review?
Yes. You can bring a family member, carer, or support worker. You can also ask your coordinator to attend and help you prepare.
Can I switch coordinators if I am unhappy?
Yes, at any time, without anyone’s permission. Give written notice per your service agreement, sign a new one, and your new coordinator will pick up from there. Most participants make the switch within one to two weeks.
How fast can services be set up after I sign on?
Once your service agreement is signed, your coordinator gets to work straight away. Most participants have their first providers contacted within the first week.
What happens if my providers stop responding?
Your coordinator follows up directly. If a provider is not delivering what was agreed, we step in, whether that means chasing them up or finding someone better suited to your needs.
