Case Management Training May 2009
Case Management Training
Facilitated by Dr. Greta Galloway
Introduction and who should attend
Case management is the predominant model for the delivery of health and human services in Australia. Case management is a framework from which client need is assessed holistically, and through which a tailor made program of work is developed, implemented and evaluated to meet these assessed needs in a comprehensive and efficient manner.
This training has been developed for both new and experienced health and social welfare personnel, including service managers. Australian literature, policy and case examples are used in this training to provide the following:
• An overall framework through which to understand and articulate case management practice
• Clear tools and templates for conducting initial, holistic assessments of client need
• Clear tools and templates for developing case management plans
• Practices and processes for targeting and approaching a range of potential partners in the enterprise of service delivery (this includes public and private, charitable, familial and community partnerships)
• Roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in the case management process with a particular focus on the roles and responsibilities of the case manager
• Issues and dilemmas that arise for clients, their families and other partners in the provision of service delivery through a case management model.
This training is indicated for all health and welfare personnel from new to experienced workers and from new employees to managers of services. Particularly this training is indicated for those working in the following service areas:
• Health – hospital and community health including sexual health
• Mental health
• Drug and alcohol
• Women’s services
• Men’s services
• Children and Family services
• Disability
• Employment and Rehabilitation
• Migrant and refugee services
• Income security (Centrelink)
