Person Centred Active Support Australia

Person Centred Active Support (PCAS)

Overview

  • Person Centred Active Support is a way of providing someone with a disability just the right amount of support. Not too much and not too little.
  • Active Support empowers people with a disability to do things for themselves when possible, rather than a staff member doing it on their behalf.
  • Support staff also make sure they customise their supports for each individual based on their needs.
