Introduction
In Australia, there is a growing trend towards enabling and supporting the aged and people with disabilities to live in their own homes, with as much autonomy as possible. Even when they stay in community care centres, they often require personalised attention as each person’s needs are unique. Diet plans, physical needs and medical attention required will differ from patient to patient. Individual support workers are trained to take care of the needs of such patients on a one-on-one basis, and support their independence and well-being.
