• Achieve long-term reductions in DFV incidents by fostering stronger, safer, and more resilient Aboriginal families and communties

Scope

DCJ is seeking to procure one service to design and deliver a Staying in Community Leaving Violence (SiCLV) service under the SHLV program across the Walgett Local Government Area (LGA) in partnership with the Walgett Community SiCLV Advisory Group. SiCLV is a specialised domestic and family violence (DFV) program aimed at promoting safety and preventing homelessness.

The SiCLV framework provides a strategic and culturally responsive framework for Aboriginal service delivery. It is built on the principles of self-determination and community-led decision-making. The framework is intended to guide discussion and design, not to prescribe a fixed model of service.

This flexible approach ensures services are tailored to local needs, with adequate time for design, local adaptation, relationship building and implementation.

Services may include:

• Intensive, needs-based, long-term case work

• Collaboration with key agencies (e.g. NSW Police, WDVCAS, health services, housing)

• Service delivery guided by Aboriginal governance and community priorities

• Aboriginal-led persons using violence programs

• Community education programs

To apply, service providers must be a non-government, not-for-profit and incorporated entity operating as a local ACCO across the Walgett LGA. The successful provider will be contracted to deliver the service for 3 years + 4 months with a 2-year option to extend.
