Assessment number: 32429.01 Knowledge test E1137 Certificate IV in
Disability
Module 2: Supporting
individuals and their
health needs
This is assessment 1 of 3.
1. Background/Overview
Disability support workers provide support to individuals and their
families who need help, both emotionally and practically, so they
can live a happy, independent life. This could include support in
their home, in the community or in day respite (activity centres).
When supporting service users, support workers assist with
determining support needs, providing and monitoring support
services, and completing reporting and documentation regarding
progress of a service users goals.
To be able to assist service users to reach their goals, services write
a personal plan in conjunction with the service user and persons
nominated by the service user as important in their life. This could
include carers and family, health professionals, individual workers
and supervisors at the service. The personal plan must take
account of the goals to enable greater participation and enable
daily life and be strength-based and person centred.

organise, provide and monitor support services within the limits

Case study – Roman at CareShore
You have been asked by the CareShore management to assist with the implementation of the
NDIS scheme at the day service. Part of this scheme is to ensure that all service users have a
Personal Plan. Wendy is one of the support staff that has been allocated to you to assist with
the provision of a Personal Plan for one of the service users, Roman, who Wendy has been
working with for the last 3 months. Roman attends the day service three days per week and
although he has a choice of programs, he rarely participates unless he can play computer
games.

premier league hockey at the national level. Roman is homosexual and lives with his partner
Mark in a renovated unit on the north shore of a large city, a few kilometres from Care Shore.
He is supported by his mother, Daisy and occasionally by his father, David.
He was in a rehabilitation centre before returning to live in his own home and attends the
service as his partner works fulltime. He has stated that he is quite bored with the activities
at the centre as not many interests him. He would like to be less of a burden on Mark,
particularly financially and wants to be more independent as he knows mum is ageing.
