About this resource
This Guideline describes the process for DES Providers to arrange an Ongoing Support Assessment (OSA) for a Participant. When an OSA is required, the work is allocated to an Ongoing Support Assessor so that the Ongoing Support needs of a Participant may be independently assessed. Referral for an OSA is completed in the Department’s IT Systems.
