About
DCYJMA awarded a contract to IFYS Limited for the provision of specialised foster and kinship care services, specifically 20 short-term placement places for children and young people aged 0-15.
The service, known as First Step Care, focuses on providing planned or same-day short-term care for up to three months while clear exit plans to kin or longer-term care arrangements are identified.
The placements aim to reduce unnecessary placement movements and support carers of children recently entering the statutory care system.
Carers will be recruited and supported primarily in Cairns, Innisfail, Atherton Tablelands, and Mossman, with referrals made via the Far North Queensland Placement Services Unit.
The contract value is AUD 368,381 and was procured through a limited process.
