LAC or Support Coordinator. What’s the Difference?
These two NDIS roles are often confused, so here’s a simple breakdown:
Local Area Coordinator (LAC)
LACs help you understand the NDIS, prepare for planning, and connect with local community supports.
Support Coordinator (COS)
Support Coordinators help you put your plan into action by organising services, coordinating providers, and supporting more complex needs.
In short:
LACs guide you into the NDIS, while Support Coordinators help manage your supports day to day.
