From Allocation to Action: Engaging Your Team in Funding Optimisation

Overview

This interactive session will unpack what funding optimisation really means under Support at Home and how your whole team can play a part in ensuring care delivery is both effective and sustainable.

We’ll go beyond theory to explore how allocation decisions, team communication, and accurate recording of care delivery directly influence funding utilisation, participant outcomes, and organisational sustainability.

At LPA, we’re working with providers across Australia to reshape the culture around funding and service utilisation, empowering care managers, direct care workers, and participants to understand how their actions and documentation link directly to care plans, goals, and funding outcomes.

Through practical examples we’ll look at how to:

• Involve care managers and direct care workers in collaborative funding decisions.
• Engage participants in aligning their goals and service choices with available funding.

• Avoid underutilisation and missed opportunities by improving documentation and communication.

• Use simple tools and processes to track, review, and optimise allocations over time.

This session will give your team the confidence and practical know-how to make every hour and every dollar count.
