SchemeWise provides NDIS Support Coordination, Complex Care Planning as well as Therapy and Assessment services.

Our services are designed around you to build capacity and personal pathways to life and community connections so you have access to broader opportunities and enhanced life experiences. You are at the centre of everything we do...

Support Coordination

Our support coordination service helps you find, design and set up service agreements with providers you wish to use to achieve your goals. SchemeWise support coordinators also help monitor services and supports and help gt them back on track if things go wrong. Our coordinators assist you to gather information for your plan reviews and will support you at the review itself to make sure your voice is heard and your needs are communicated.

Some providers also offer this service along with direct services such as respite or daily care. Don't be fooled...support coordination is a specialist function requiring dedicated focus and deep expertise. Our people are degree trained health and allied-health professionals offering you quality-assured services and knowledgeable know-how.

SchemeWise support coordinators all have extensive experience in complex care planning and reporting; placing you at the centre of everything they do. SchemeWise is a registered provider for specialist support coordination (Level 3) services too. In the specialist space we can also work in a consultancy role (time-limited fashion) with your regular support coordinator to help solve problems and reduce complexity.

Life transitions

Assistance with life transitions can help you plan, implement and review important periods in your life. Examples include going to school, changing schools (primary, secondary, tertiary or even home schooling), moving to a new home, moving out of home, becoming independent from your family or even getting on the road to recovery if you have experienced psycho-social issues.

Another important life transition is learning to living with new people - such as when you decide to access supported independent living (SIL) under the NDIS. There are a lot of new things you need to learn and do each day when you take up SIL - from learning budgeting in bill management skills, accessing transport, learning to do the shopping, or even cooking for a group of people at your home (not just yourself). Another big transition is getting to know the people you live with, how to solve problems and issues together, and getting along when people have different needs or supports. Then there are things like rent or other social or health issues to address - like knowing how to get around or finding a new doctor or caring for yourself and others.

SchemeWise can help with these kinds of needs using our Life Transitions service. And we can tailor this to your needs and put a package in place that suits you! Depending on your needs you may prefer a support coordinator to help you manage an important transition, or a nurse, or a counsellor. Or perhaps you need a bit of all three.... that's OK... we can do that too because we are flexible!

Therapy services

SchemeWise therapy services are for everyone! We offer a range of capacity building, life skills and helpful services to enhance your day-to-day well-being. These services run on a regular basis and are available to NDIS participants (and privately to all others).

You can learn more about each individual service by using the menu at the top of the page.

Nursing assessment or community nursing: is a great way to get help and training for your carers and/or family. Or if something has changed or you've been to hospital a nurse can help you get settled back at home with the right supports put in place to meet your needs. Do you know registered nurses are also training to undertake a wide array of assessments that can also help not just day-to-day but also tell the NDIS that your health needs have changed? Nursing services under the NDIS have been greatly expanded since October 2019. Our services now include wound and pressure care, as well as epilepsy, asthma, continence, neurological and others management planning.

Counselling: SchemeWise is able to help with all kinds of issues where talking to a counsellor can help. From personal issues, to dealing with traumatic events, being supported in recovery if you have mental health issues, to planning and goal-setting our counsellors can help you. Best of all SchemeWise counsellors can work in with other professionals like psychologists and nurses and social workers to provide team-based assistance. If you have a preference we can also offer male and female counsellors too.

Occupational Therapy: SchemeWise is now offering OT services in Canberra and Queanbeyan for people 10 years and up. Our focus is on assessments, scripting and ensuring your Assistive Technology needs are met. Our OT's can also undertake functional assessments (sensory, physical, neurological) and can also make recommendations to the NDIS through reports.

Psychosocial Recovery Coach: This new service was introduced by the NDIS starting 1 July 2020. Recovery coaches allow people with psychosocial disability to gain practical support to power recovery. This services places you at the centre and seeks to enhance your capacity but also plan and manage for when things aren't as good and help you get back on track again.

CRITICAL INCIDENT DEBRIEFING SERVICE: SchemeWise critical incident debriefing service provides a team of two allied-health professionals to independently examine a matter, help people deal with stress and distress and get things back and operating quickly. The benefit of this service is to retain key staff or services and support when an incident, near miss or risk occurs. This time-limited service can be accessed for help soon after an event occurs. We'll also provide written evidence around a person's needs (or other risks) to provide to the NDIS and enhance future planning. This service is accessible by people living with disability, their family's and supports and their service providers. This service is a great option for providers where people may have behaviours of concern to allow staff to process personal distress and avoid separations OR due to an incident a person wishes to support their care team and keep them engaged. This service can be supported from CAPACITY or CORE... NDIS plan funds.
