Clarity for Complex Assessment Needs
Tailored, evidence-based assessments to guide planning, support delivery, and improve outcomes.
Who is this for?
SAL Consulting’s Clinical Assessments are designed for individuals with complex needs, and the services, systems, and teams that support them. These assessments are ideal for use in NDIS contexts, residential services, guardianship and care planning, or organisational service design—particularly when clarity, collaboration, and a person-centred approach are needed to move forward.
We work with:
Disability and allied health providers
Support coordinators and case managers
Government and non-government services
Families, carers, and multidisciplinary teams
How does it work?
Our assessments are designed to be highly responsive to both individual needs and service system realities, particularly in complex or high-risk scenarios. We take a collaborative, trauma-informed approach, grounded in clinical insight and practical application.
Our most frequently requested clinical assessments include:
Client Grouping Assessments – Evaluating proposed group living arrangements to ensure compatibility, safety, and sustainability.
Service Model Planning and Design – Reviewing the alignment between an individual’s needs and the current or proposed model of care, with clear recommendations for improvement or redesign.
Individual Client Appraisal Reports (ICARe’s) – Comprehensive, whole-of-life assessments across domains such as accommodation, health, daily living, and social connection, with actionable directions for support.
Each assessment includes:
Review of relevant background and file information
Interviews and consultation with key stakeholders
Direct observation and engagement with the individual
A clear, clinically-informed written report
Recommendations that are practical, person-centred, and aligned with current systems and funding frameworks
Whether you need support with planning a placement, rethinking a support model, or simply gaining a fuller understanding of a client’s needs, SAL Consulting will work with you to ensure the right assessment approach for your context.
