Onsite Shared Support That Protects your SDA Tenancy Outcomes
Shield of Care provides Onsite Shared Supports (OSS) for SDA residents across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, Caboolture and Perth—delivered as either onsite coverage (where a staff base is available) or rapid on-call coverage nearby.
Take the Next Step with Confidence
Response model designed for unplanned support needs, clear boundaries, strong governance, clean reporting.
Now onboarding SDA sites for OSS support across SEQ and Perth.
You don't need "more support hours".
You need a reliable response.
SDA operators get judged on the lived experience: safety, stability, neighbour impact, incident response, and how quickly issues are contained before they escalate. OSS works when it’s delivered consistently, with clear scope and a predictable response pathway—without blurring into routine rostered support.
Reduce avoidable incidents through faster, calmer response
Protect tenancies by managing unplanned support needs early
Support vacancy fill and retention by improving day-to-day reliability
Give your team a single, accountable OSS partner
Two OSS delivery options (matched to your site)
We make the referral process simple, transparent, and respectful. We specialize in matching our support workers and clinicians with participants who need a more nuanced, trauma-informed, or neurodiversity-affirming approach.
Option A: Onsite OSS
Preferred where space exists
If your building has a suitable base for staff (office/room/secure workstation), we provide onsite coverage aligned to your site’s needs, with structured handover, incident pathways and consistent presence.
Option B: On-call OSS
Rapid response nearby
If onsite space isn’t available, we place staff on-call within close proximity to your SDA cluster, supported by clear triage and escalation. This model is built for reliable response without needing a dedicated onsite room.
We’ll recommend the right model based on your tenant mix, site density and risk profile.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1: Do you need onsite space to provide OSS?
No. If onsite space is available, onsite coverage is often the most efficient. If not, we can provide on-call coverage nearby with structured response pathways.
2: How do you stop OSS becoming “extra rostered support”?
We define scope boundaries upfront, document call-outs as unplanned responses, and use clear interfaces so routine supports remain with the participant’s primary rostered provider.
3: Can you work alongside SIL/support providers already in place?
Yes. Most OSS success depends on clean coordination. We align escalation pathways, site rules, and documentation so providers aren’t duplicating or undermining each other.
4: What sites are a good fit for OSS?
Best fit is any SDA cluster where unplanned support needs occur and reliable response protects tenancy outcomes. Higher-density clusters generally enable stronger coverage models.
5: What do you need from us to start?
Site locations, tenant/resident count, preferred model (onsite/on-call), access rules, and your key risk priorities. We can then propose a coverage approach.
