RFP - Head to Health Moruya
Tender ID: 525812
Tender Details
Tender Description
In mid-2021, PHNs with
local government areas (LGA) under extended stay-at-home orders, or declared
areas of concern, were funded to establish temporary ("pop-up") Head
to Health clinics. In South Eastern NSW, a Head to Health pop-up clinic was
established in the Shellharbour LGA in September 2021. This will be replaced
with a permanent 'Head to Health Shellharbour LGA & Surrounds' from July
2023 providing immediate access to mental health supports to people from
hard-to-reach groups, who are also facing socioeconomic barriers to service
access.
On 21 April 2023, the Commonwealth announced funding for 'Head to Health
Moruya'. The choice of location was informed by analysis of the population
data, service and workforce gaps, current and existing pandemic response
activities in the region, and with input from Southern Local Health District.
Significant sections of the community in the Eurobodalla LGA face socioeconomic
barriers to service access. This initiative is designed to break down those
barriers. The new location in Moruya needs to support high accessibility via
public transport and be easily accessible for vulnerable persons.
People living in the Eurobodalla LGA and surrounding areas will be eligible to
use the service.
Successful respondents will be required to enter into a Service Agreement with
COORDINARE. Funding recipients will be required to provide progress reports on
agreed milestones and achieve performance outcomes and measures. The format and
framework for progress reports and measures may take account of the size,
costs, complexity, relative risks, service model and other considerations of
the project being undertaken.
