About this Opportunity:

This service aims to improve the effectiveness of the primary care response to FDSV and integrate this into the broader local support system. It will assist primary care providers to increase their skills and confidence, create safe environments for disclosure and work collaboratively with specialist FDSV providers to improve care pathways. As part of the national Supporting Primary Care FDSV PHN pilot, the service will also support training, innovation, integration, and evaluation activities coordinated by WAPHA in the Local Government Area (LGA) Cities of Armadale, Gosnells, and Canning.

The contractor is required to establish a Social Work service to embed part-time into a minimum of six general practices to achieve the improvements outlined above through establishing a whole of practice response to FDSV. The Social Workers will also be able to provide a referral service for other local general practices.
