Looking for an NDIS support coordinator near me? Whether you’re in the heart of Sydney or out in the Western suburbs like Blacktown, having a local coordinator can make navigating the NDIS far easier. A support coordinator is a specialist who helps you understand and use your NDIS plan to reach your goals. They connect you with appropriate services (therapies, housing, community programs and more) and build your confidence and skills to manage your supports. Importantly, Centre of Hope, a registered NDIS provider in NSW, emphasises empowering you to set life goals and exercise choice and control over your supports. We operate as a mobile service, ready to travel anywhere in NSW, so our expert coordinators can meet you at home, in your community or online.
Having a local support coordinator means they know your area, from the Sydney CBD and Eastern Suburbs to Western Sydney and Wollongong – and can connect you to the right supports and community services.
What Does an NDIS Support Coordinator Do?
A support coordinator’s role is to help you make the best use of your NDIS plan. They provide capacity-building support, meaning they help you understand and use your funding, link you with providers, and grow the skills to manage your supports over time. Key tasks include:
- Understanding Your Plan: Your support coordinator explains your funding and plan in clear terms so you can make informed decisions.
- Connecting to Services: They link you with trusted providers (therapists, community groups, housing services etc.) that match your goals.
- Coordinating Supports: Your coordinator ensures all your services work smoothly together – for example, arranging appointments, negotiating service agreements, and making sure everyone is on the same page.
- Building Independence: They coach you to build confidence and life skills (like budgeting, daily living, or employment support) so you can use your supports more independently.
- Planning for Reviews: Your coordinator will track your progress and help gather reports or evidence to make the next NDIS plan review go smoothly.
A support coordinator can also help troubleshoot problems and help you stay on track with your goals. In short, they are your guide to using the NDIS effectively, putting you in control of your supports.

Support Coordinator vs. Psychosocial Recovery Coach
If you have a psychosocial disability (mental health support needs), you might also consider a Psychosocial Recovery Coach under the NDIS. Both roles help you use your plan, but there are differences:
- A Support Coordinator works with people of all disabilities. They focus on using your plan funding, connecting you to supports (both NDIS-funded and mainstream), and building general skills for independence. Specialist Support Coordinators handle particularly complex situations.
- A Psychosocial Recovery Coach is specifically for participants with psychosocial disability. They are often skilled in mental health and may even have lived experience. They focus on recovery and participation: increasing your independence and social/economic engagement, managing daily challenges, and connecting you with health and community services outside of the NDIS.
If you’re searching for a psychosocial recovery coach near me, we have experienced recovery coaches ready to support your journey to mental health and social connection.
