Product Overview
The Continuity of Support Plan is a comprehensive, ready-to-use safety document specifically designed for Australian disability and aged care providers. It gives organisations a clear, practical framework to maintain safe, consistent services when disruptions occur, while meeting work health and safety obligations and sector standards.
This professionally drafted template helps you identify critical supports, high-risk clients, and key operational risks so you can plan ahead and respond effectively to emergencies, workforce shortages, infection outbreaks, infrastructure failures and other unplanned events. It integrates WHS risk management with clinical and care requirements, supporting both client safety and worker safety.
Key Features

- Includes practical checklists, registers and table templates to streamline your safety documentation.
- Aligns with Australian work health and safety legislation, NDIS Practice Standards and Aged Care Quality Standards.

Benefits
- Strengthen WHS compliance: Demonstrate a systematic approach to managing health and safety risks associated with service disruption.
- Protect clients and workers: Reduce the likelihood of incidents, injuries and adverse outcomes when normal services are affected.
- Save time and resources: Avoid starting from scratch with a detailed, editable template that can be quickly customised to your operations.
