• Discuss local knowledge: Ask how well they know the service landscape in Shell Cove and the wider Illawarra, including transport links and community activities.
• Clarify their communication style: Ensure their approach to updates, reporting, and availability matches your preferences for a smooth partnership.
• Consider neighbouring suburbs: If you need a very specific specialty, remember that nearby areas like Campbelltown, Liverpool, and Sydney have many more listed providers, and a good coordinator can help you access them.
• Verify their capacity: Confirm they are currently taking on new participants and ask about their typical caseload to gauge the individual attention you can expect.

How a Plan Manager helps Shell Cove participants
