Our Services
MPSW is a Registered NDIS Provider
Specialist Support Coordination
Specialist Support Coordination is provided for participants with complex support needs or high levels of risks. The service is provided by a qualified and experienced practitioner to support participants to address complex issues. Together, we focus on reducing barriers in the environment, connecting with broader systems of support, and meeting the individual needs of each participant.
MPSW provides Specialist Support Coordination, including support to consult and negotiate with multiple stakeholders to come up with the best possible support solutions, achieve well-coordinated plan implementation to achieve individual goals, manage crisis and assist stakeholders with resolving points of crisis for the participants. Depending on individual participant’s circumstances, MPSW may also design a comprehensive care plan that involves all stakeholders in a participant’s life. The plan would support the stakeholders to work together towards resolving obstacles they face and enabling smooth service delivery to promote the participant’s wellbeing.
Coordination of Supports
Coordination of Supports is provided for participants to strengthen their ability to design and build their supports across mainstream, community, informal, and funded services. Participants are supported to build and maintain a resilient network of formal and informal supports, and to direct their own lives more confidently. Participants are also supported to understand their plan and funding, identify their expectations from services and how they want their supports to be designed. This is achieved through collaboration and consultations.
