Aged Care Services - Specialist Dementia Care Program
Tender ID: 479562
Tender Details
Tender Description
The Specialist Dementia Care Program (SDCP) is an Australian Government initiative that provides care for people exhibiting very severe behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, who are unable to be appropriately cared for by mainstream aged care services.
The program offers specialised, transitional residential support, focussing on reducing or stabilising symptoms over time, with the aim of enabling people to move to less intensive care settings.
Under the SDCP, the intention is that there will be 35 SDCP units established, with a unit in each of the 31 Primary Health Network (PHN) regions.
To date 10 SDCP units have been established nationally across 9 PHN regions as part of the Phase One Grant Opportunities.
The purpose of the Phase Two SDCP Grant opportunity is to identify aged care providers with capacity to establish the remaining SDCP units through the use of targeted competitive and non-competitive approaches commencing from December 2021.
Eligibility
Targeted Competitive grant opportunity
For the targeted - competitive grant opportunity, all eligible organisations located within the designated PHN region may apply. A Department of Health aged care Bulk Information Distribution Service (BIDS) notice will be used to advise organisations of the Grant Opportunity through GrantConnect.
Closed non-competitive grant opportunity
For the closed non-competitive grant opportunity, only the organisation invited by the Department of Health will be eligible to apply for the Grant Opportunity through GrantConnect.
