About the role
The Support Coordinator will manage a portfolio of severely injured clients who are at varying stages of their rehabilitation in the community setting, aligning the provision of medical, rehabilitation and disability services.
Support Coordinators plan with clients to achieve optimal client outcomes and client experience in line with contemporary disability principles, and practice with a specific focus on health, social and work participation. This role you will spend a high percentage of your day engaging with clients, employers and treating practitioners.
This role at times will require you to travel for face-to-face visits with clients and potentially their treating teams, therefore you will need to hold a current Victorian driver's licence.

The Support Coordinator specialty areas include:
The Intensive Support Coordinator manages a portfolio of severely injured clients, on a short to medium term basis, who are currently experiencing highly complex individual situations. Your clients will be at varying stages of rehabilitation and will often have additional factors affecting their recovery, so you will be required to coordinate multiple stakeholders and medical, rehabilitation and disability organisations, to ensure they achieve maximum independence and participation in all life areas during this time.
The Early Support Coordinator proactively manages a portfolio of severely injured clients in the early stages of their claim, to achieve optimal outcomes. This is achieved through early hospital involvement, familial engagement and facilitation of discharge, the development of holistic Independence Plans, effective communication with stakeholders and sound claims management.
The Active Support Coordinator will manage clients at varying stages of their rehabilitation in the community setting, aligning the provision of medical, rehabilitation and disability services with the client's individualised plan to achieve maximal independence and participation in all life areas.
