Context and Application This line item is used for activities designed to help participants pursue their social, economic, or community participation goals. The support is delivered in a group setting and is classified as High Intensity Support.

A service is classified as High Intensity if it requires a worker with specific qualifications, experience, or training relevant to the participant's complex support needs. This classification is typically required when participants need frequent support to manage complex health or high behavioural support needs, which are often provided by a suitably qualified support worker (SQSW).
