It seems like a simple idea—who knows your needs better than family? But when it comes to NDIS support coordination, the rules are different.
The NDIS aims to keep support coordination professional and free from conflicts of interest. That’s why family members usually aren’t approved. The goal is to ensure decisions are made with your best interests in mind, not influenced by personal relationships.
That said, there are exceptions. If no other providers are available or your circumstances make it necessary, the NDIS might consider it. But you’ll need strong evidence to show why this is the best option for you.
