Step 2. Complete client and plan details sections.
Step 3. Determine Goal Attainment Scaling outcomes and activities
- 3.1 Discuss with the client their progress in relation to each goal described in the plan. If a client is uncontactable for any reason at closure, the provider completes the next step to the best of their knowledge.
- 3.2 Based on the criteria describing each outcome, determine whether the client has achieved the ‘expected outcome’, ‘more than expected’ outcome or ‘most favourable’ outcome. Conversely, if the client has achieved ‘less than expected’ outcome or ‘most unfavourable’ outcome.

Step 4. Complete agreement section (Sign-Off and Distribution of Closure Report)
Step 5. Indicate costs incurred with activities outlined in the final Rehabilitation Plan
- 5.1 Provider indicates the costs involved in terms of total provider costs, third party costs and the total costs involved with the final plan.
Step 6. Upload the closure report and any other relevant documentation into R&C ISH using the client's unique Transaction Reference Number (TRN).
Step 7. Rehabilitation Coordinators are responsible for transposing information from the documentation submitted by rehabilitation providers, into R&C ISH. This information includes goals and activities for each goal.
Rehabilitation Goals are what the client wants to achieve through their rehabilitation plan. They will have a vocational, medical management or psychosocial focus. An example for each is provided below.
- Vocational goal – return to sustainable part-time work.
- Medical Management goal – identify appropriate medical professionals in my local area and start accessing treatment regularly.
- Psychosocial goal – to increase level of social activity and community participation.
A client may be working towards a mix of vocational, medical management and/or psychosocial goals concurrently, or may initially focus on achieving specific types of goals (e.g. medical management goals) before moving on to others. This will be determined by what is most appropriate for each client given their individual circumstances and needs.
