FAQ
Using scenario prompts safely
What is the CaresLink scenario writer?
The scenario writer is a free documentation prompt tool for Australian care teams. It helps workers start from a common care situation, collect observable facts, and choose a matching progress note, incident, handover, medication prompt, or communication template.
Does the scenario writer replace provider documentation procedures?
No. The scenario writer provides general operational prompts only. Providers should review all wording against their own policies, support plans, funding rules, escalation pathways, and regulatory obligations.
Can support workers use the draft wording directly?
Workers should treat the draft as a starting point. They should check the facts, remove anything that does not apply, add required local details, and follow the provider's documentation process.
