Marli & Moe Specialist Support Coordination focuses on addressing barriers and reducing complexity in the support environment while assisting our clients in connecting with supports plus building capacity and resilience in their communities.

We have a team of highly experienced and effective Specialist Support Coordinatiors who have the qualifications and experience to manage complex, challenging and high support needs.

We will connect you with the very best NDIS providers in your community.

Specialist Support Coordination is support coordination that is provided by a professional with an allied health background, Psychosocial, social work, or other appropriate expertise. This is funded for complex participants who have exceptionally high needs or are in a crisis situation.

Often when Specialist Support Coordination is funded, there are matters that are very time-sensitive and where the participant may face additional and high-risk barriers to support.

Specialist Support Coordination includes all the activities outlined in 'Support Coordination', but addresses situations where it is appropriate to have a Specialist deliver Support Coordination-style services, necessitated by specific high-level risks in the participant’s situation.

Our NDIS Specialist Support Coordination team are always here to help!
