Provider-managed funding

Your Disability Support Program funding comes to ABCare, and we coordinate and administer your supports on your behalf. You still decide what your support looks like — we do the arranging.

What this means in practice

We hold and administer the funding, hire and schedule the support workers, arrange cover when someone is away, and keep the records the program requires.

It is still built around you. The plan is made with you, you meet the people who will be working with you, and you can change what is not working by telling your case manager.

People choose this route because they would rather spend their time on their life than on administration.

What we coordinate

Everything on the self-managed list, and the arranging that goes with it.
  • Day-to-day support

    Support workers for daily living, community activities, respite, and overnight or after-hours cover.

  • Health routines

    Routines that keep you well and keep existing conditions steady, worked out with the health professionals already involved.

  • Your funding and budget

    We explain what your funding covers in plain terms, track what is being spent, and tell you before something runs short.

  • Finding somewhere to live

    Help looking for a place, and help sorting out the practical parts of moving in and staying there.

  • Community mapping

    Working out what is actually available near you — groups, services, transport, and places worth knowing about.

  • Inventory assessment

    Going through what a household needs, and budgeting and shopping for it so nothing important is missing.

Who this tends to suit

  • People who want support arranged rather than managed
  • People without someone nearby who can take on the administration
  • Anyone moving into their own place for the first time

How to start

Call and tell us your situation. We will explain what we would take on, what stays your decision, and what happens in the first few weeks. If it fits, we will meet.
