INDEPENDENT DEVELOPMENT & COORDINATION

“Do, or do not. There is no “try”

“Don’t let anyone ever make you feel like you don’t deserve what you want.”

“Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn’t mean they’re lost forever.”

“Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.”

“It is not our abilities that show what we truly are … it is our choices.”

“There should be no boundaries to human endeavour. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there’s life, there is hope.”

“Once you do something, you never forget. Even if you can’t remember.”

“I don’t want to survive. I want to live.”

“Adventure is out there!”

“When life gets you down do you wanna know what you’ve gotta do? Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim.”

“The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.”

“Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts.”

“To infinity and beyond!”

"'Ohana' means 'family'. 'Family' means 'no one gets left behind”

“You’ll have bad times, but it’ll always wake you up to the good stuff you weren’t paying attention to.”

“The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up.”

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

“Carpe diem. Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary.”

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

“There’s just no telling how far I’ll go.”

Testimonials

Ivan is an excellent COS and a great person. Highly recommended.

VR Mirajkar - NDIS Provider, Bethel Disability Supports

I've had nothing but good things to say about this service, always friendly, always going above and beyond for my needs and I recommend this service 100%.

Steve - NDIS Participant

I run a small disability service provider based in Lake Macquarie, NSW. I met Ivan from ID&C when I was hands on with my first participant and we connected straight away. Ivan and his team have been nothing but helpful with my participants for support coordination and I could not recommend them enough. 10/10 professional service, 10/10 communication and 10/10 reliability. I now refer all my participants who are looking for Support Coordination to Ivan and his team at ID&C.

Garry - Embrace Disability Supports, Ndis provider

A big thank you to Independent Development and Coordination for taking the time to get to know my son so they could match him with the perfect support worker for his needs. Weekly support work has been easy to organise, and my son has also enjoyed overnight visits away from home thanks to the coordination services of ID&C.
