About

The prequalification scheme is seeking approved case managers and care needs assessors for the Lifetime Care and Workers Care programs to support people with severe injuries, including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputations, burns and blindness. Applicants must meet tertiary qualification requirements and demonstrate capability, experience and expertise in supporting these severe injury cohorts, agree to work within the Lifetime Care Scheme legislation and Guidelines (see icare website), and understand that prequalification does not guarantee work. Case managers provide specialised services across the rehabilitation continuum — from early post-discharge rehabilitation to lifelong support aimed at community participation and quality of life for people with very severe disabilities and complex circumstances — while care needs assessors carry out targeted assessments that identify care and support requirements used by Lifetime Care and Workers Care to determine funding, support and attendant care services. Case managers are sourced first from a participant’s local area, so applicants across NSW and ACT are encouraged to apply, with smaller numbers of interstate case managers needed primarily in the Queensland and Victoria border areas.
