Description

Prequalified Scheme for Lifetime Care approved case managers and care needs assessors.

Scope

Case managers and care needs assessors are required to support people with severe injuries including, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputations, burns, and blindness.

Case managers and care needs assessors are expected to understand, and agree to work within, the Lifetime Care Scheme legislation and Guidelines, which can be found on the icare website https://www.icare.nsw.gov.au.

Prequalification does not guarantee work to service providers. Case managers are sourced first from the person’s local area, and therefore case managers from across NSW and ACT are encouraged to apply. Smaller numbers of interstate case managers are needed, primarily in the border states of Queensland and Victoria.

Approved Case Managers (Lifetime Care) provide specialised services across the rehabilitation continuum – from early post-discharge rehabilitation programs to lifelong support to achieve community participation and quality of life outcomes for people with very severe disabilities and complex circumstances.

New applications for case management and care needs assessment capabilities of SCM11991 are now closed. 

Instructions

New applications for Scheme SCM11991 are closed.

The Scheme will be reopened from 11-15th December 2023 to allow previously approved businesses to make administrative changes. 

The Scheme is not accepting new applications for approved case managers and care needs assessors at this time.
