Case study
You have been assigned to help conduct an initial needs assessment for Madeleine who has been accepted to receive services from your community centre. Madeline has a severe alcohol addiction. She has been staying with a friend since recently leaving a long-term de facto relationship with an abusive partner. Madeline experiences anxiety and depression, and is scared that her ex-partner will find out where she is living and come to harm her. Madeline is scared to leave her friend's house, and only ventures out to buy alcohol. Madeline has no access to money because her ex-partner controlled the couple's finances. Madeline has not been receiving Centrelink benefits, and is not sure she will be able to.
Question 1. Identify Madeleine's needs and prioritise them according to immediate and short-term needs.
Question 2. For the immediate and short-term needs that you have identified in CS Question 1, provide an example of a service provider that you will need to refer the client to.
Question 3. What are the necessary information that you will need to gather about the service providers to assess their suitability to support Madeleine's service needs?

Case study
Dave is the case coordinator at a residential aged care facility, and notices that several of the Indigenous Australian clients stay with their families for days at a time. Some have dementia and others experience mobility difficulties, making travel risky and difficult to manage, but they all have a need to maintain their connection with their community, their heritage and values. The process of getting their them and their older relatives to the community and looking after them is very demanding.
To help families overcome transportation, care and accommodation difficulties, Dave applies for funding to provide transport to the remote community. This enables the older people to participate in family gatherings and significant community events without having to stay for long periods.
Question 1. How has Dave demonstrated cultural competence in this scenario?
Question 2. What is Dave's duty of care to the Aboriginal clients in this situation?
