What Should You Do?

If you have a worry and want to tell us about it, we have some steps for you to follow.

It can help to write a list of what you want to tell us.

You can follow the steps listed below. Some people will not want to do this in this order.

That’s ok.

The most important thing is to get the problem out in the open and sorted out.

Talk about the problem with someone you trust. This may be your family, a friend, your Support Worker, or your Coordinator;
Talk directly to the person or Worker involved; or
Talk with your Community Living Facilitator to work out what to do next; or
Talk with CLP’s Executive Officer (Chris Myer on 8384 7866) who will help you to work out what can be done; or
If you still aren’t happy then Chris will help you contact the Board of CLP either by phone or to write a letter. Someone independent will help you through this.
If you still aren’t happy then you can talk to one of the groups listed at the bottom of this page.
