Support Coordination — Compassionate Community Care
All Services Compassionate Community Care Service

Level 2 and Level 3 Support Coordination across Queensland.

Our Support Coordination service is not limited to Cairns. Participants anywhere in Queensland can work with our Coordinators, remotely or face-to-face where we have local presence.

Coverage

All of Queensland, remotely or in person.

Levels

Level 2 Coordination of Supports and Level 3 Specialist Support Coordination.

Specialty

Complex circumstances: housing breakdown, hospital, custody, high risk.

Independence

We will recommend other providers where they are the better fit.

Service overview

Coordination that keeps moving when a plan gets complicated.

Most of what we do depends on having staff and properties nearby. Support Coordination does not, which is why it is the one service we market across the whole state. Coordinators work by phone and video, and travel to meet participants where that is practical.

A lot of our caseload sits in the situations other people find difficult: a discharge that has stalled, housing that has broken down, a participant coming out of custody, a plan that does not match the person in front of you. That is the work we are built for.

Who This Service Is For

Participants anywhere in Queensland with Support Coordination funding in their plan, including those in regional and remote communities where local options are limited.
