Why Support Coordination Matters More Than Most Participants Realise
An NDIS plan is only as good as your ability to actually use it. Funding categories, provider searches, service agreements, plan reviews, unexpected changes in circumstances: for most participants and families, this is where an otherwise well designed plan quietly stalls.
That’s the gap Support Coordination is built to close. And in the Gympie region, one name consistently comes up: Access Support Coordination (ASC).

The team works alongside participants to demystify the NDIS, connect them with the right local services, and keep their choice and control at the centre of every decision.

Support Coordination Services in Gympie: What’s Actually Included
Access Support Coordination offers the full spectrum of coordination support, meaning participants don’t need to shop around for different levels of help as their needs change.
Level 1 Support Connection
For participants who need a lighter touch: help understanding their plan, connecting with mainstream and community supports, and building the confidence to manage things independently over time.
Level 2 Coordination of Supports
The most commonly funded level, designed for participants who need ongoing help coordinating multiple providers, resolving issues as they come up, and strengthening their ability to direct their own supports.
Level 3 Specialist Support Coordination
For participants with more complex needs, higher risk situations, or challenging service environments, where a more intensive, specialist level of coordination is required to maintain stability.
Recovery Coaching
Support specifically designed for participants navigating mental health recovery, focused on building capacity, resilience and long term wellbeing alongside NDIS goal achievement.
Local Support Coordinators Who Know Gympie
One of the clearest advantages of choosing Access Support Coordination in Gympie is that their coordinators are genuinely local.
Jill Betts, a Support Coordinator with Access Support Coordination since 2019 and 14 years of prior experience in the disability sector, is a born and raised Gympie local with deep knowledge of the area’s businesses and service providers. She works with both children and adults and is known for building strong rapport with the people she supports.
Michelle (Shelly) Wilson, another born and bred Gympie local, brings a varied background: from running her own small business employing people with disability, to seven years with Jobmatch Disability Employment, to a site manager role in mental health focused employment support. Her driving focus is helping participants build the skills to reach their full potential.
Local knowledge like this isn’t a nice to have. It’s the difference between being handed a generic provider list and being connected to services that are actually the right fit, in the right area, for your specific goals.
