AddressAbout the Organisation
The Disability Support Project believes that Support Coordination should remain independent from every service in the NDIS to uphold the responsibility and integrity of the role. We pride ourselves on values of trust, loyalty, and integrity, ensuring every person with an NDIS plan receives the most appropriate assistance to meet their needs through independent Coordination of Support.
