Using this resource

Use the current agreed care plan to identify the personal care tasks, preferences and assistance that this record should describe.

Record a requested change as pending until the authorised person confirms it; do not silently extend the service scope.

This working record does not approve funding, replace the participant's care plan or authorise clinical tasks.

Who it is for

Coordinators and team leaders documenting personal care support instructions for workers.

When to use it

Use when personal care support starts, changes, needs clearer worker guidance, or when related records need checking after the 1 October 2026 Support at Home personal care contribution change.
