Clinical and Care Services

Model of Care

We provide person centred and culturally appropriate care in keeping with our model of care. Clinical and personal care is provided to you in accordance with the requirements of the Aged Care Quality Standards.

Care Plans and Individualised Budgets

Your Care Partner, with input from a Registered Nurse (if required), will assess your care needs and develop a personalised Care and Services Plan. You and your representative will review and approve this plan and your Individualised Budget, which outlines available funds and how they will be used to deliver your chosen services. 

Plans are reviewed:

  • When your needs or preferences change
  • At least annually

    Care Conferences

    Annual or ad hoc Care Conferences are held to review your needs and preferences. These may occur in person, by phone, or via teleconference. You may request a conference or a copy of your plan at any time.

    Medical Practitioners

    If your care involves medical oversight, we will request your GP’s contact details. For complex care, we will seek your consent to involve your GP in planning. 

    Nursing Services

    Where clinical care is required, a Registered or Enrolled Nurse will assess your needs and contribute to the clinical components of your plan 

    Management of Medication

    Care workers may prompt or supervise medication. You must maintain an up-to-date list of all medications. Only a doctor may alter prescribed treatments. Approved staff must follow medical directions precisely
