Specialised Support Coordination (SSC) | Empowering Souls

At Empowering Souls, we understand that navigating the NDIS can be complex—especially for participants with high or complex needs. That’s why we provide Specialised Support Coordination (SSC) services.

Our team of experienced professionals is here to simplify the process, coordinate supports, and ensure you achieve the best possible outcomes from your NDIS plan. Specialised Support Coordination is more than managing services—it’s about building capacity, overcoming challenges, and empowering you to live with independence, dignity, and confidence.

What Is Specialised Support Coordination?

Specialised Support Coordination (SSC) is a higher level of NDIS support coordination for participants with complex needs, multiple providers, high-risk situations, or barriers preventing effective use of their plan. Unlike standard coordination, SSC requires specialist knowledge and intensive support to stabilise services and reduce risk.

Our coordinators work with you, your family, carers, and providers to design and implement strategies that help you make the most of your plan.
