What happens next

After the assessment, we will tell if you meet the criteria to get council support for yourself or the person you care for.  

If you’re eligible for support, we will invite you to a session to help you develop your own support plan.  

You can choose to combine your support plan with that of the person you care for if you’ve both had an assessment.  

A support plan is a document that looks at: 

  • the areas you need support with 
  • how you want to arrange support 
  • how your needs will be met  

Your plan is about you and your choices. The assessment officer and their manager will review it to make sure it is realistic and likely to support you make the changes you need.  

We will send you a support plan document which you can use to write your plan before you discuss it with the assessing officer. Or you can get help to find the support that would most benefit you.
