In a recent blog, *["What is the Role of a Support Coordinator?"](https://resources.thc.org.au/blog/what-is-the-role-of-an-ndis-support-coordinator)*, I outlined the things an NDIS Support Coordinator will do for an NDIS participant.

As a Support Coordinator at THC, I sometimes get requests from NDIS participants who are outside of my local area and seeking support coordination services. While we of course help as many people as we can, I do want to point out the benefits of using an NDIS Support Coordinator who is local to where you live:

1. Your local Support Coordinator will have in-depth knowledge of and experience with **the best service providers within your local area**.
2. Your local Support Coordinator will be able to **connect you to your local community so you can broaden your local circle of support**.
3. Your **local Support Coordinator** will be able to **use your support coordination funding more efficiently** because:
   
     - - Less time (and therefore budget) is spent on researching the service providers in your local area; they already know the service providers local to their area and may not be familiar with ones near to you.
           - Face-to-face meetings or visits with local and known service providers are easier to organise.
           - Less time (and therefore budget) is spent on your Support Coordinator’s travel to and from service providers if they are local.

1. 1. -
