Transitioning from custody back into community can be overwhelming. While the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) framework provides significant support, understanding and optimising your existing plan during the reintegration process can be challenging. This is where Chimein Recovery Services can assist. Our dedicated Support Coordinators and Psychosocial Recovery Coaches are experienced in guiding prisoners with NDIS plans through the intricacies of the system, ensuring you maximise the benefits of your plan when reintegrating into community.
The Role of a Support Coordinator

Connecting with Services: Your Support Coordinator connects you with appropriate services in your community, ensuring you have access to the supports required for a smooth transition – from housing assistance to mental health services.
