Preparing for your first support visit

What to consider

The first visit is an opportunity to explain your routine and get comfortable. A short list of priorities can help you avoid feeling that everything needs to be discussed at once.

A practical checklist

• Explain entry, parking and household preferences
• Show agreed equipment and supplies
• Choose one or two priorities for the visit

Put it into practice

Let the worker know how you prefer to receive questions or prompts. Discuss what you want to do independently and when you would like assistance. At the end, review what felt comfortable and what should change next time.

Discuss your situation

There is no single routine that suits everyone. You can bring these questions to a conversation with PPLSRV and involve a trusted person if you wish. Tell us what matters most before committing to an arrangement.

For service availability, explain your suburb, preferred times and tasks. We can discuss whether our support-worker services are suitable; an enquiry does not commit you to a booking.
