For support coordinators

For support coordinators

The participants who keep you up at night. The complex ones, the urgent ones, the ones other providers have declined. That's where we're at our best.

The provider that makes your job easier.

Your participant, your plan. When you refer supports to us, you stay the coordinator. We deliver, we keep you informed, and we give you the evidence you need for reviews.

Why coordinators refer to us.

  • We say yes to complex.

    Behaviours of concern, exit seeking, 2:1, restrictive practices where authorised, high intensity health needs.

  • Workers in 4 days.

    Matched, inducted and trained on the participant's own plans before the first shift.

  • Notes written as evidence.

    Structured shift notes against goals and daily functioning, ready for reviews and reassessments.

  • Same day answers.

    Every referral answered the same business day, and a phone that's answered 24/7.

  • Housing that moves fast.

    A medium term home in 5 to 7 days and a place in one of our 1:1 or 2:1 homes in 7 to 14 days.

  • We turn up.

    Case conferences and MDTs attended at no charge, with clear actions afterwards.

Reporting

Notes written for the reassessment, not the invoice.

Every shift is recorded against the participant's goals and daily functioning: behaviours, sleep, personal care, mobility, meals, safety and community access, the same way every day. Patterns become clear rather than anecdotal, and you go into reviews with facts.

  • Structured daily progress notes
  • Behaviour and incident records with triggers and what worked
  • Overnight records
  • Support delivered compared with support funded
  • Summary reports for reviews

“We'd been through three support coordinators before we found Dementia Care Queensland. None of them really understood Dad's condition, they were juggling too many clients, too many diagnoses. Our coordinator here is different. She calls before we even know we need her. She's already thought about what Dad's going to need in six months. That kind of proactive care, we'd never experienced it before.”
