Illustration for Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003

When your care needs are assessed, a co-ordinator tells your care manager to make a care and rehabilitation plan for you. This plan is to help you get the care you need. The co-ordinator must approve the care and rehabilitation plan that is made for you.

The care manager arranges for the plan to be prepared after the co-ordinator gives the instruction. You have a care manager who looks after your care needs. The co-ordinator checks the plan to make sure it is okay before approving it.

The plan is an important document that outlines how you will get the care you need. It is made just for you and your needs. The co-ordinator's approval is necessary before the plan can be used.
