Why choose OdysseyCare

This business wasn't born in a boardroom. Leah Kolega, our founder, is a mum to four kids—one of whom is a NDIS participant. She has spent over 15 years working across mental health, the justice system, and disability services. She built OdysseyCare because she got tired of generic providers and wanted a service that was genuine, reliable, and treated people like humans.

That exact mindset drives our coordination services:

  • We treat you like an individual. Your plan is built strictly around your life.
  • Trauma-informed practice isn't just a buzzword here. It's how we create safe spaces for folks dealing with severe trauma or high-risk situations.
  • Deep local roots. We know the right providers and community groups for support coordination Melbourne.
  • After-hours support is available if we agree on it beforehand. Life doesn't stop at 5 PM.
  • Our staff care about this work.
  • We don't just manage budgets. We build relationships that give you clarity and real choice.

Frequently asked questions

Standard coordination is about implementing your plan and finding good providers. Specialist Support Coordination (Level 3) is for folks dealing with incredibly complex, high-risk situations—like severe mental health crises, justice involvement, or unstable housing. It requires a much higher level of intense, multi-system coordination.

Yes. You must have it explicitly funded in your plan for us to provide the service. If looking at your plan gives you a headache and you aren't sure if it's in there, just call us. We will look it up for you.

Absolutely. That is a massive part of what we do. Plan reviews are stressful. We gather the evidence, figure out what is and isn't working, and stand right beside you to advocate for the funding you actually need.

NDIS funding for support coordination

This funding comes from the Capacity Building budget in your NDIS plan, specifically under the Support Coordination category.

  • Have your current NDIS plan handy when you call us. It helps us figure out exactly what you're working with.
  • We need the standard onboarding paperwork signed off before we start billing.
