Frequently asked questions
Do support coordinators actually get referrals from LinkedIn?
Rarely as a direct cold enquiry, but often indirectly. Planners, LACs, allied health and other coordinators check LinkedIn to verify you before sending a referral through their usual channels. A clear, current profile that names your level, region and cohort makes you the recognisable, safe choice when they have a participant to place.
Can I post client success stories on LinkedIn?
Only with genuine, informed and documented consent, and even then remove identifying details. Under the NDIS Code of Conduct, a story that could identify a participant — especially in a small community — is a privacy breach regardless of intent. When unsure, write about the type of work you do rather than a specific person.
What should a support coordinator LinkedIn headline say?
Your level, region, niche and independence status. For example: "Support Coordinator (Level 2) — Adelaide | psychosocial and complex plans | independent." This lets a referrer filtering by exactly those terms find you and decide in seconds whether you fit the participant in front of them.
Is it a conflict of interest to promote my services online?
Marketing your own coordination services is fine. The conflict arises when you also deliver the supports you coordinate and your content steers participants toward those related services. Disclose and manage any conflict transparently, keep referral language neutral and choice-focused, and never present yourself as independent if you are not.
How often should I post to stay visible to referrers?
Roughly once a week or fortnight is enough. Referrers want evidence you are active and current, not a daily feed. Prioritise a few genuinely useful posts — reform explainers, local provider knowledge, process transparency — over frequent low-value content that dilutes your professional signal.
