This article provides guidance for early childhood partners and planner delegates about information to consider when completing questions relating to support coordination in the Personal and Environmental Circumstances (PEC) case where support coordination may be required.

Careful consideration should be made when completing the PEC case to best reflect the participant and their family’s actual circumstances and NDIS funded support needs. The PEC case is used to inform the Typical Support Package (TSP) and planner delegate reasonable and necessary decision making.

3 Support coordination

Support coordination is often not required in early childhood plans particularly if they are supported by a key worker model or can be supported by an early childhood partner to implement their plan.

There may be circumstances where the level of support the participant’s family needs to implement their child’s plan is above what the early childhood partner and service provider (i.e. their key worker) can provide.

The PEC will ask you the following questions:

• Is funding for support coordination required?
• What level of support coordination is required?

redacted: [s47E(d) - certain operations of agencies](/library/documents/bc455e3f7247-foi-24-25-0515-documents/document-015__47e-d-certain-operations-of-agencies/)

When support coordination is being recommended, it is important to consider all the available evidence to determine whether the support is needed and what level of support may be reasonable and necessary.

When support coordination is funded in a child’s plan, it is beneficial for early childhood partners to continue to check in during the plan period to ensure the child and their family are well supported.

Support coordination may not be required on an ongoing basis and the need for the support should be reviewed at plan reassessment and check-ins. The level of support required will depend on the child and family’s individual circumstances. This should be clearly outlined and justified within the system to reflect the barriers and individual support needs for the child and family.
