    Understanding Why the NDIS Has Different Coordination Levels

    The NDIS provides three levels of coordination to support participants with varying needs. These levels match the complexity of your situation, goals and required level of assistance. Infinite Support delivers all three levels and provides guidance to help you understand your plan and use your funding effectively.

    What Is Level 2 Support Coordination?

    Designed for Participants with Moderate to Higher Needs

    Level 2 Support Coordination is the most common type of coordination funded by the NDIS. It suits participants who require regular guidance but not intensive or crisis driven management. Infinite Support helps members at this level by explaining their plans, organising multiple supports, building capacity, preparing for plan reassessments and helping with service agreements and budgeting.

    Key Responsibilities in Level 2 Support Coordination

    • Coordinating multiple services and providers

    • Clarifying NDIS funding categories

    • Helping participants understand their plan

    • Problem solving challenges or service gaps

    • Supporting decision making and goal setting

    • Encouraging independence over time

    What Is Level 3 Specialist Support Coordination?

    For Participants with Complex or High Risk Needs

    Level 3 Coordination is for participants who face significant barriers or require intensive case management. This level often supports individuals experiencing psychosocial challenges, behavioural complexities, unstable living arrangements, or multi agency involvement. Infinite Support’s specialist coordinators have the skills and training to manage high risk scenarios safely and collaboratively.

    Key Responsibilities in Specialist Coordination

    • Crisis planning and response

    • Multi provider collaboration

    • Specialist risk management

    • Supporting participants with complex family, behavioural or mental health situations

    • Ensuring safe and stable service delivery

    • Coordinating with housing, justice or health systems

    How to Know Which Level You Might Need

    A participant may need Level 2 if they:

    • Have several supports to organise

    • Need regular guidance

    • Want to build independence

    • Have stable living arrangements

    • Need help understanding their plan

    A participant may need Level 3 if they:

    • Have complex behavioural or psychosocial needs

    • Require crisis support

    • Have significant barriers to engaging with services

    • Work with multiple agencies simultaneously

    • Are at risk of unsafe or unstable situations
