122. NDIS Support Coordination with Hannah Redford

Welcome to Episode 122 - NDIS Support Coordination with Hannah Redford

  

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a complex system for people living with disability to navigate. It’s not just about getting funding for disability supports. It’s also about finding and connecting with the right providers; and dealing with review processes that are stressful and often re-traumatising. 

 

The role of a NDIS Support Coordinators is to help with this process; and joining me this week is Hannah Redford from Tulip Coordination. Hannah helps us to understand the NDIS, whilst sharing some of the lived experience of disability that enables her to thrive in this role.

Key quotes

 

“Not everyone who is on the NDIS gets a support coordinator. It's really only those who have a few more complexities”

 

“you taught me that I have choice and control”

 

“I also work with the LGBTIQ+ community and in particular, transgender participants, because although I am cis, I do understand a lot more about it than most support coordinators”
