Find Your Way Around ALPIMS

Find the page, tool or support that fits today.

You do not need to understand the whole site before you begin. Choose one starting point and return whenever you are ready.

Different doors. Different starting points.
Choose whichever one makes sense today.

Start with one thing.

You might know how you feel, what is difficult, what you want to do, or simply that you need help finding a starting point. There is no perfect order.

Start here

Understand ALPIMS

What ALPIMS is, who it may help and how to use this site.

Learn about the six ALPIMS domains and how the site brings together health, sensory, emotional, environmental and daily-life support.

About ALPIMS → What ALPIMS is, who it may help and how to use this site. Pattern Finder → Notice which areas may be carrying the most load today. The ALPIMS Domains → Explore the six connected ALPIMS areas. Conditions and Experiences → Explore conditions and experiences that may span several domains.

Pattern Finder

Which areas may be carrying the most load?

Use this gentle self-reflection tool when you are unsure where to begin. It is not a diagnosis. It helps you notice patterns and choose a useful next page.

Open the Pattern Finder → Reflect on what is most noticeable or demanding today. Build Your Support Map → Bring together patterns, needs, supports and next steps.

Finding Supports That Fit

Support is not one-size-fits-all. Explore practical, family, professional, NDIS and everyday supports that may fit different needs.

Finding Supports That Fit → Begin with the type of support you are looking for. Foundations: Supports Across Domains → Explore supports that may help more than one ALPIMS domain. Professional Care → Prepare for medical, psychological and allied-health support. NDIS and Other Support → Explore functional support and disability pathways.

Daily Check-Ins

What is happening today, and what might help?

You do not need to assess everything. Choose the check-in that feels closest.

How Do I Feel Right Now? → A short check-in when it is difficult to name what is happening. Could My Body Need Something? → Consider rest, food, hydration, sensory needs and physical symptoms. Emotions Check-In → Notice emotional intensity without assuming it tells the whole story. Sensory Check-In → Notice sound, light, smell, touch and information load.

Choose a response

Solve It, Regulate or Rest?

What kind of response would be useful right now?

Sometimes there is a practical problem to solve. Sometimes the system is overloaded. Sometimes both are true.

Regulate Rest Reduce Load Pace
