Frequently asked questions
Is content marketing for support coordinators allowed under the NDIS Code of Conduct?
Yes. Publishing accurate, useful information is not restricted. What the Code prohibits is misleading claims, unsubstantiated superlatives like 'best in the region', and anything that breaches conflict-of-interest rules by steering participants to related businesses. Keep claims honest and descriptive and you stay well within the rules.
Who should a support coordinator write content for — participants or referrers?
Primarily referrers. LACs, NDIA planners and providers are the people who send you Requests for Service, and most participants engage a coordinator on a referrer's recommendation. Aim at least half your content at the questions referrers get asked, then let participants and families read it to confirm their choice.
How often should I publish, and is it worth the time?
A sustainable rhythm for a solo practice is one website explainer a month, a weekly LinkedIn post mostly derived from it, and a monthly email to referrers. It is worth it because content compounds — a piece written today can generate a referral many months later — but only if you stay consistent for two to three quarters before judging results.
Can I write about real cases without breaching privacy?
Only with genuine de-identification or explicit written consent. Removing the name is not enough; age, disability, location and timeline can re-identify someone, especially in a small community. Change or omit identifying details, blend elements from more than one situation, or write the lesson without the case at all.
Should I keep publishing given the 2028 commissioning changes?
Yes — arguably more so. When coordination moves to a commissioned panel from 1 July 2028, a documented track record and public reputation become key evidence of competence. Building honest authority now positions your practice for a market where you are selected onto a panel rather than found in an open market.
