Provision of Facilitator Services for the Restorative Engagement Program for the Defence Abuse Response Taskforce

The Department is seeking to engage highly skilled and experienced facilitators from various professional backgrounds for the purpose of establishing a panel of providers from individuals, businesses, companies and organisations, to conduct Restorative Engagement Conferences on behalf of the Taskforce. Drawing upon key principles from Restorative Justice and Mediation, Restorative Engagement Conferences have been specifically designed by the Taskforce in order provide an opportunity for those who have made plausible allegations of abuse to participate in a restorative process. The conferences will allow personal accounts of abuse to be heard, responded to and acknowledged by representatives from Defence.
