MyLog turns daily lived experience into an organised record.
Care happens every day. Assessments and funding conversations happen at particular points in time. MyLog helps families capture what is happening between those conversations, so the history, patterns, goals and changes are easier to understand when they matter.
Your family’s memory, organised.
MyLog gives the people who provide care a shared place to record what is happening, without relying on one person to remember everything.
- Daily care and important events
- Goals and progress over time
- Carer and whānau wellbeing where relevant
- Funding and spending information
- Handover between caregivers
- Exportable records for reviews and conversations
See the pattern behind the conversation.
A MyLog export can give the family a structured, dated record to bring alongside their assessment or funding conversation.
- Dated and attributed observations
- Longitudinal history rather than a single snapshot
- Goal and wellbeing trends
- Structured PDF export, including funding purpose per goal and carer/whānau support needs
- Clearer context around day-to-day support
- Less dependence on reconstructing everything from memory
Disability support assessments are changing. Your family’s record still matters.
DSS now uses a more consistent assessment and allocation approach across NASCs and Enabling Good Lives sites. Where relevant to the disabled person’s needs and wellbeing, assessments can also consider family, whānau and carer needs, including caring, respite or wellbeing breaks, and support to reduce stress. MyLog helps families record the day-to-day picture before the conversation happens.
MyLog does not replace the assessment. It helps you prepare for it.
DSS’s assessment conversation leads to a My DSS Funding Plan describing what funding a person has, what it is intended for and the outcomes it is meant to support. MyLog sits on the family side of that process: recording day-to-day information, goals, patterns and relevant wellbeing information so the family has a clearer history to draw from when discussing their circumstances.

Guided Every Step
MyLog prompts you through each entry. You don’t need to know exactly what to write – the right questions are there.
Everyone Can Contribute
Family members, support workers and other caregivers can contribute to the same record, keeping everyone on the same page.
Daily Care Diary | A dated, attributed record of day-to-day care
Structured entries across four Te Whare Tapa Whā wellbeing dimensions. Multiple caregivers can contribute. Build a continuous history and make handovers easier.
Structured Goal Tracking | See progress build over time
Family admins set goals. Carers rate them Good, Moderate or Severe at each entry. Trends build automatically without requiring separate administration.
Structured PDF Export | Give your assessor the bigger picture
Export dated and attributed records for the period you choose, including entry history, goal trends, a Carer & Whānau Support Needs summary and a Purpose of Funding overview for tagged goals, giving your family a structured record to take into an assessment, review or funding conversation.
Funding Stream Manager | See your funding in one place
Enter and track supported funding streams side by side, and tag goals to the funding they support. Log spending, set alerts and export summaries, designed for families, not accountants.
Carer & Whānau Wellbeing Log | Record what caring is like too
Where relevant, record respite needs, stress, sustainability and carer wellbeing alongside daily care. By assessment time, the family can look back at its own record rather than relying entirely on memory.
| Without MyLog | With MyLog |
|---|---|
| Everything lives in different places. Notebooks, messages, documents, phones and memories all contain pieces of the story. | One shared family record. Care information, goals, wellbeing and funding information are organised in one place. |
| At review time, you’re reconstructing the past. Months or years of daily support have to be remembered and explained in a limited conversation. | The history is already there. A dated record can be exported for the period you choose and taken into the conversation. |
| New caregivers start with a verbal handover. Important details can be missed or repeated from scratch. | Caregivers can see the existing picture. The record gives authorised caregivers useful context before they begin providing support. |
| Patterns are difficult to see. Individual incidents may be remembered, but changes over time are harder to demonstrate. | Patterns can emerge. Goal ratings and dated entries build a longitudinal picture over time. |
| Carer wellbeing gets remembered retrospectively. Respite needs, stress and sustainability may only become part of the conversation when asked. | Relevant carer and whānau information can be recorded as it happens. The family can bring its own history into the conversation. |
| Change providers and the history can become fragmented. Information may be spread across different people, systems and devices. | The family keeps its MyLog record. The record is designed to stay with the family through changes in caregivers and providers. |
Better information helps both sides of the table.
MyLog is designed to help families describe what daily life actually looks like, while giving assessors, coordinators and other professionals a clearer record to consider alongside the assessment conversation.
A clearer record can make the wider support picture easier to understand.
MyLog can support families and care teams with structured records, handovers, goal tracking, wellbeing information and exports that can be brought into funding, placement and support conversations.
Don’t wait until the review to start remembering.
Start building your family’s record now, one entry at a time, so the bigger picture is there when you need it.
