The purpose of this study was to explore the challenges and strategies of support coordinators tasked with connecting National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants with allied health services in Tasmania, a largely rural and island state of Australia. Twenty-five registered support coordinators currently supporting Tasmanian NDIS participants participated in semistructured interviews, with interview data coded and thematically analysed. Support coordinators unanimously reported difficulties connecting NDIS participants to allied health services, with a lack of registered allied health providers and providers with specialist skills and experience with complex disabilities. Support coordinators reported lengthy waiting lists for NDIS participants and compromised service quality, which in some cases led to a loss of participant functioning and future funding. Building positive relationships with allied health providers and persistence were perceived as critical to facilitate allied health service access, as was leaving no stone unturned and looking beyond the island for allied health services. Support coordinators play a critical role in connecting NDIS participants to available services through aggressively canvassing local allied health providers, as well as harnessing interstate allied health provider capacity through novel means. Broad workforce strategies are needed to recruit and retain allied health professionals to the Tasmanian NDIS registered provider market. Policy development is also needed to ensure quality and effective support coordination for NDIS participants.

Organisations for people with intellectual disabilities must comply with regulatory quality standards written by Australian governments. Standards are abstract and predominantly focus on paperwork and processes. In thinking about service quality, organisational leaders must decide where to focus their efforts and whether to look beyond compliance issues. This study aimedto identify how leaders in day-service organisations for people with intellectual disabilities perceived and monitored service quality, and what they thought influenced quality in their services.Using a constructivist grounded theory methodology, semistructured interviews were conducted with eight leaders from three day-service organisations in Victoria, Australia. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and thematically analysed using constant comparison and line-by-line coding. Overall, the leaders had two contrasting approaches to quality in their organisations. Four had a “process compliance” approach and the other four a “service user’s experience of support” approach. These two approaches to service quality mirrored the tensions between the process compliance approach used by Australian governments toregulate the quality of services provided to people with intellectual disabilities, and an approach preferred by researchers, which argues the importance of judging quality through observation of service users’ experience of support. Consideration should be given to merging these approaches and creating indicators that incorporate both observation and process review methods.
