Lifetime Care & Support

Your LTCS coordinator
Your LTCS coordinator is your main contact person at the Authority.

Rehabilitation and care assessments
Your LTCS co-ordinator will ensure that someone will assess your rehabilitation and care needs. Rehabilitation and care needs assessments will happen at planned review times or when there is a change in your needs.

If you are receiving rehabilitation services for your injury, the assessor might be a member of your treating health team so you will already know them. If you don't have a rehabilitation team or additional expertise is required, your LTCS coordinator will arrange for an approved assessor based in the community to contact you to review your needs.
