About local area coordination

All Australians have a right to a dignified and meaningful life. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and an improved quality of life.

SSI partners with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to deliver local area coordination services within two Sydney regions. We support people to access the NDIS and other services and supports in the community.

How we help

We help participants to understand, access and navigate the NDIS and the support available.
We work with you to help you apply for an NDIS plan, implement your plan and help you apply for a plan reassessment.
