About icare support

Support workers and a clinical team provide care for people who have been severely injured at work, developed a dust related disease or been in a motor accident in NSW and ACT, to live at home and participate in the community.

Our support workers provide in-home care to support people to identify and achieve their goals.

Backed by a clinical team who are there to deliver on-care advice, support workers work with a person to:

• assist with personal care tasks
• assist with daily living activities like shopping and meal preparation
• take part in community events, group activities and get to appointments
• develop new skills and friendships
• assist in coordinating allied health therapies such as speech and occupational therapy
• provide clinical/high level support such as continence care including catheter and bowel management, PEG care and wound management, as well as medication administration
• coordinate supports and manage care plans

We have a team of Clinical Care Consultants whose key functions are:

• Development, monitoring and review of care plans
• Management of clinical requirements
• Training support workers and nursing staff
• Supervision of clinical staff
• Providing clinical advice and instruction
• Providing on-call support outside of normal working hours
