About us 

The Full Story

Stronger Foundations Support Coordination strives to create supports and an environment that provides full citizenship for people living with a mental illness and to improve mental health in our communities. Stronger Foundations was set up to provide supports and to offer a bespoke service focussing on mental wellness.

We provide Support Coordination  to NDIS customers and assist them in achieving their goals as set out in their NDIS plans. This is conditional on the continuation of viable funding under the NDIS, and we will work within the funding constraints of your NDIS plan. We mainly work with plan or self-managed participants, but, if you are agency managed we can request that to be changed.

​

We believe that everyone can pursue a meaningful life based on their own strengths, values and goals, and we are delighted you have chosen us to support you in your recovery.

SFSC specialise in supporting people with a range of mental health needs. What sets us apart is our experience as a specialist mental health provider that is passionate about supporting you to accomplish your personal recovery goals.

​

We understand that recovery is individual and unique to YOU. Recovery means living with our without symptoms and describes the journey to improved wellbeing & health.

What is the NDIS 

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to empower people with disability to work towards their goals, to identify the disability related support they need to meet their goals, and to choose where they would like to buy their supports.

​

What will the NDIS fund?

The NDIS will fund ‘reasonable and necessary’ supports needed to meet your needs and achieve your goals. Depending on your goals, the funding in your plan may include the following:

• Core funding – funding that covers functional support needs for daily living and participation and to access community supports and activities.

• Capital funding – funding that covers the purchase of one-off items such as equipment, technology or modifications. It also includes funding for Specialist Disability Accommodation.

• Capacity funding – funding that supports skill building, training, learning, capacity building, accessing employment, improving health and wellbeing and support coordination.

​

What does ‘reasonable and necessary’ mean?

The NDIS will fund ‘reasonable and necessary’ supports needed to meet your needs and achieve your goals. Reasonable and necessary supports must:

• be identified in your NDIS plan as helping you to achieve your goals

• be related to your disability

• help you take part in the community or to find paid work or volunteering work

• not include day-to-day living costs not related to your disability

• represent value for money

• be beneficial to you and be evidence-based (tried and tested), and

• take into account informal family, carer and community support that is available to you.
