Your Path Your Way Support Coordination

28/09/2026

We know there are incredible providers doing great work across the Loddon Mallee.

We're updating our independent provider capacity map and are looking for local NDIS providers to be included.

If you deliver services in our region, we'd love to hear from you.

By sharing information about your services, locations, capacity, and wait times, you're helping participants and families access clear information and make informed choices about the supports available to them.

Please reach out or tag a provider who should be included. 💙

📍 Calling Providers Across Bendigo & the Loddon Mallee
We're updating our internal Provider Capacity Map and would love your help.
As support coordinators, one of the biggest challenges is keeping up with changing provider availability. Even when we know services well, current information often comes from phone calls, emails, websites, team discussions and word of mouth.
A provider who had capacity last month may now have a waitlist. A service that wasn't accepting referrals may suddenly have availability. New clinicians join teams, service areas expand, and specialisations evolve.
By keeping this information current, we can spend less time searching and more time supporting participants to implement their plans, achieve their goals and make informed choices about their supports.
We're looking for:
💛 Current capacity and wait times
💛 Services offered
💛 Areas serviced
💛 Areas of specialisation
💛 Capacity for urgent referrals, assessments or reports
💛 Preferred referral pathways and contact details
Our goal is simple: to make it easier to connect participants with the right supports at the right time.
If you'd like your service included or updated, please comment below or send us a message with your details.
Together, we can build a stronger picture of available supports across Bendigo and the wider Loddon Mallee region.
Because it's your path, your way. 💛

You've built relationships that matter.

A changing sector doesn't make them matter less.

As support coordination reform continues to evolve, the proposed future direction places increasing emphasis on independence and reducing conflicts of interest.

For organisations that provide multiple NDIS services, this may mean difficult decisions about the future of their support coordination programs and where they invest their resources.
For Support Coordinators, that can create uncertainty.
For participants, it can create concerns about continuity, trusted relationships and what comes next.

At YPYW, support coordination isn't one service among many.
It's what we do.
As an independent provider, our entire organisation is focused on support coordination, specialist support coordination and recovery coaching.
Our investment, leadership, systems, training and workforce development are all dedicated to supporting quality coordination and strong participant outcomes.
We employ our coordinators, provide ongoing supervision and peer support, and are committed to building a sustainable workforce for the future.
If you're considering what's next, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.

And if participants choose to continue working with you, we'll support a transparent, respectful and participant-led transition.
Their choice. Their supports. Their path.

Let's talk.

We're not here to fit people into systems. We're here to help systems work for people. Neuroaffirming Support Coordination, Specialist Support Coordination and Recovery Coaching across Bendigo, Loddon Mallee and regional Victoria

What happens next?

The talk is in the air. Even when nobody says it outright, you can feel when a company's focus has started moving away from support coordination — away from the participants you actually care about. If that's what's happening around you right now, we get it, and we don't think you should just have to watch it happen.

The NDIS is moving toward a commissioned Support Coordination and Connection service, and a lot of Support Coordinators are asking exactly that question.

At Your Path Your Way, support coordination isn't a small piece of something bigger. It's the whole business — our heart is solely and wholly in this work, nothing else pulling focus.

Participant choice and control comes first, always. So if your participants choose to keep working with you, that's their decision to make — not ours, and not your current organisation's.

We're building for what's next: growing our team across the whole Loddon Mallee region, not just Bendigo. We're a neuroaffirming provider, and that extends to how we treat our staff, not just our participants — our Support Coordinators are employed, not subcontracted, with full employee benefits, work-from-home flexibility, and a team that actually has your back.

If you want a genuine shot at being part of this shift, and coming out the other side with a provider whose heart is fully in support coordination, we'd love to talk.

🩵NDIS Term of the Week💛

09/09/2026

💛 R U OK? Day 💛
Today is a reminder that checking in with someone doesn't require the perfect words or all the answers.
A simple "Are you okay?" can open the door to a conversation that someone may have been needing.
Many people worry about asking because they're afraid of what happens next if the answer is "No, I'm not okay."
The truth is, you don't need to fix the problem.
You don't need to be a counsellor.
You don't need to have all the answers.
Sometimes the most important thing you can do is listen, show you care, and help someone connect with support if they need it.
If you're concerned about a friend, family member, colleague or someone in your community, reach out. And if you're worried about them but they're not ready to seek support themselves, organisations like Lifeline and Beyond Blue can provide guidance on how to support someone safely.
If you're the one struggling, please remember that reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. You don't have to carry everything on your own.
At Your Path Your Way, we believe connection matters. Today, and every day, let's make time to check in with the people around us and with ourselves.
💛 Are you okay?

🩵R U OK? Day — 10 September 2026 💛

There’s no one “right” way to check in. A text, a walk, sitting together, sharing a meme, using signs or AAC, or simply showing up — however you connect, it counts.

A genuine check-in can change someone’s day, and sometimes, their life. 💙

This R U OK? Day, let’s make space for connection in every way, for everyone.

Ask anyone. Ask any way. 🫶

NDIS Changes Explained: Plan Variations vs Plan Reassessments

One of the most common questions we're hearing is: "Do I need a plan variation or a plan reassessment?"

While they can sound similar, they are different processes and understanding the difference can help you navigate changes to your NDIS plan more effectively.

Remember, every person's situation is different. If you're unsure what applies to you, seek advice from your support team or the NDIA.
