Domestic and Family Violence Support Services Far North Queensland Region (June 2018)

The Department of Child Safety, Youth and Women (the department) provides funding to non-government organisations to provide timely and quality risk and needs assessment, information, counselling and support to people affected by domestic and family violence. This investment also aims to achieve safer communities through prevention and early intervention and service system coordination and capacity building.

The department seeks contemporary, consistent and sustainable approaches for service delivery that deliver on a strong commitment to eliminating domestic and family violence in our community and supporting people affected. In line with this approach, investment under the Domestic and Family Violence Funding Area contributes to the following outcomes:
• increased safety from domestic and family violence and improved wellbeing;
• increased perpetrator responsibility for abusive behaviour; and
• increased public awareness about domestic and family violence including available support services.

The Request for Quote has been issued with the objectives of increasing the capacity of local domestic and family violence service systems to support victim safety, hold perpetrators accountable for their behaviour and provide them with opportunities to change.

Quotes are invited by the State of Queensland, acting through the department for the delivery of innovative, flexible domestic and family violence support services.
