Working with families and carers

What to consider

Families and carers often hold valuable knowledge about routines and preferences. With the participant’s consent, that information can help make support more consistent and reduce repeated explanations.

A practical checklist

• Agree who can receive updates
• Share relevant routines with consent
• Clarify how changes will be communicated

Put it into practice

Discuss what the participant wants to manage directly and where they would like help. A family member’s involvement should support the person’s choices. PPLSRV can discuss practical support visits; this page does not offer residential respite or clinical services.

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.
