We collaborate with participant-designed support teams. While a support coordinator can be included in that team if required or chosen, our primary focus is generally on the team leader working directly with the participant. We strongly believe in supported decision-making and prioritising close collaboration with the participant.
The team leader and the participant are at the top of the hierarchy, and they are supported by apprentice trainees, clinical staff, allied health professionals, and other team members. A cohesive team that knows each other well and operates within a positive culture and environment is essential.
This collaborative approach allows us to address urgent matters quickly and ensures that supported decision-making is integrated into everyday life, as it should be.
