Specialist Support Coordination
Huntington’s Victoria is also able to provide Specialist Support Coordination as well. Specialist Support Coordination is a time-limited service that is available to assist people with Huntington’s disease who have complex needs or significant risk concerns.
In addition to the points listed above, Specialist support coordination also includes:
- Responding to crises and creating a plan that reduces risks to you and others.

If you do not have support coordination in your plan and would like assistance to access this, please contact us to discuss further.
Hello! I’m Keith, support coordination client, VIC
I have been with Huntington’s Victoria since my first plan in 2018. I choose Huntington’s Victoria to help me with my plan because they listen to me, got to know who I am as a person, and they understand my support need. They also explain my NDIS plan to me and help me to make informed decisions about my services. My Support Coordinator is happy to speak with my family too and to help me with arranging my Huntington’s disease specialist appointments. My support coordinator also understands that sometimes things happen and helps me to resolve these issues so it doesn’t impact on my plan.
