“I was seeing three different therapists and none of them were talking to each other. I found a health coordinator who got everyone on the same page within a fortnight. My progress has been so much better since then.” James, Australia

Support at Home Care Coordination in Australia

Care coordination is also a core part of the Australian Government’s Support at Home program for older Australians. Under Support at Home Category 1 (Clinical and Personal Care), care management is fully funded at 100%, meaning there is no co-contribution required from the participant. This reflects the government’s recognition that good care coordination is the foundation of effective home-based support.

Care management under Support at Home covers the administrative and planning work that keeps a person’s services running smoothly. This includes developing and reviewing care plans, coordinating between multiple service providers, scheduling and adjusting supports as needs change, and maintaining accurate records. For older Australians in Australia who receive services from several different providers, this coordination role prevents gaps, duplication, and confusion.

The Support at Home framework treats care management as distinct from the clinical and personal care services it organises. A care coordinator does not deliver hands-on support. Instead, they ensure the right services are in place at the right times, that providers are communicating effectively, and that the overall care plan reflects the person’s current goals and circumstances. Regular reviews ensure the plan adapts as needs evolve over time.

MD Home Care connects older Australians in Australia with experienced care coordination providers who understand the Support at Home system. Whether someone is transitioning from a Home Care Package to Support at Home or setting up services for the first time, the right coordinator can simplify the process and keep everything on track.

Frequently Asked Questions About Allied Health Coordination

What does an allied health coordinator actually do?

An allied health coordinator manages the logistics of your therapy services. They schedule appointments, ensure your therapists are communicating with each other, track your progress across disciplines, and help you get the most from your NDIS funding. Think of them as the project manager for your health team.

Is health coordination funded by the NDIS?

Yes. Allied health coordination can be funded under several NDIS categories including Capacity Building - Health and Wellbeing, Improved Daily Living, and Support Coordination. Your plan manager or support coordinator can help you access this funding.

Do I need health coordination if I only see one therapist?

Health coordination is most valuable when you see multiple therapists or health professionals. However, even with one therapist, a coordinator can help with appointment scheduling, implementing home programs, tracking progress, and liaising with your GP or specialists to ensure integrated care.
