icare support services
icare is a government funded program that supports people who have been injured at work or in a motor accident, including people with work related dust diseases.
Support workers, and registered nurses are utilised to deliver individual support to clients in their home, work or social settings. Staff are specifically selected and trained to meet the needs and goals of each client. All support services are supervised by clinical care coordinators (registered nurses) who oversee all aspects of the program to ensure planned goals and outcomes are achieved.

If you have been severely injured in a motor accident or at work in NSW, icare funds attendant care support in the home. This is delivered by support workers who help you with day-to-day activities that are difficult for you to manage because of your injury. This can include assistance with personal care/hygiene, managing medication, home rehabilitation programs and getting involved in community activities.
