PLEASE NOTE: This is not ACC endorsed training – it is a senior clinician’s take. It offers guidance in how to tackle the tasks in providing either type of Wellbeing Plan under the revised ACC Sensitive Claims Service. Your attendance for this training does not guarantee ACC approval of your wellbeing plans.
This webinar addresses ways to complete Wellbeing Plans as well as Cover to Wellbeing Plans as required in the newly updated ACC contract. Cover to Wellbeing Plans are needed for those kiritaki (clients) on pathway A and Wellbeing Plans are needed for those with more complex needs on pathway B following Specialist Cover Assessments.
Regardless of the pathway, each kiritaki requires a therapy and recovery plan and this webinar aims to assist those new to this mahi and those needing a refresher in how to go about providing either type of wellbeing plan. The webinar will offer the opportunity to understand the evaluation and formulation skills needed for the successful completion of these plans.
In addition, it offers a practical focus on the clinical task of writing a coherent and well-reasoned evaluation of needs, reflected in the goals and the indicated pathway for recovery. ACC provides learning modules on the changes to the system and these are freely available for registered and approved providers, so they will not be repeated here.
When: Friday, 16 May 2025, 9am – 3pm
Where: Online via Zoom
Cost: $320 inc GST. The price stated is per person.
