Our new resources are about supervising workers.

When you supervise a worker, it’s your job to make sure they:

A worker supporting a participant and a good quality icon.

  • give good quality support

A participant and a worker having a conversation.

  • listen to the people they support

A document that says 'Rules' with a tick on it. Next to the document is a worker writing on a document.

  • follow the rules.

You should supervise your workers if you manage your own plan.

If you get support from a service provider, it’s their job to supervise and manage your workers.

Our resources are also about supervising for capability.

When you supervise for capability, you check that your worker understands what they must:

  • know
  • do.

You also make sure workers have the right:

A light bulb, a speech bubble and a computer.

  • skills to do the job well

A person thinking.

  • attitudes.

Your attitudes are what you think, feel and believe.

Our new resources can support you to:

  • supervise your own workers

  • work with your service provider to make sure you get good quality support.
