What is Service Co-ordination?

Service co-ordination is a separate process designed to find the best solutions to meet as many of your identified needs as possible.

What is involved in the process?
A Service Co-ordinator will read your Needs Assessment report and look for the best way to meet your needs within the resources available.

These may include: Informal support (i.e. family and friends), Formal support (i.e. service agencies), Government funded support (e.g. Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, CYFS, WINZ); and Non-Government organisations such as service groups, church groups, self-help groups or volunteers.

Once the options have been discussed with you, the Service Co-ordinator will refer you to the appropriate agencies or organisations.

What services may I be able to access?
Funded Services may range from:
  • Personal care
  • Carer support
  • Home help
  • Supported living
  • Residential care
  • Other services based on your individual needs
Information and support will be given to access a range of supports available in your community
