Specialist Cover Assessments (SCA) 101 with Diane Clare

This webinar addresses the changes that occurred December, 2024 to the ACC Assessment process for sexual abuse claims. Formerly known as Supported Assessments, it was changed to Specialist Cover Assessments (SCA). These assessments will only be required for clients with complex needs, as well as where a diagnosis and treatment recommendations for complex needs therapy are indicated (known as Pathway B). This may or may not mean longer term therapy but does allow for a range of service options with more hours to accommodate these needs. Other clients will obtain services through their Lead Service Provider and use pathway A and not require an SCA.

This training is suitable for ACC Approved assessors and those seeking approval from ACC to become assessors.  However, your attendance for this training is not a guarantee of ACC approval for you to become an assessor.

ACC provides learning modules on the changes to the system and these are freely available for registered and approved providers so they will not be repeated here. This training is not ACC endorsed training as ACC does not fund training - it is a senior clinician's take on the practical and clinical challenges in this task. It offers guidance on how to tackle the task of providing these SCAs, once you are an approved assessor.

Please note this is an introductory level 101 workshop. Any workshop that is 201 is for those with more experience or who have already attended a 101.
