Department of Communities awarded a contract to Ruah Community Services for the provision and operation of a Safe Accommodation Service procured through a Direct Negotiation Request process.

The service was intended as a step-down from emergency crisis accommodation for women, with or without accompanying children, who were not in immediate crisis but required additional time to heal.

Women and children using the service had achieved a sense of stability and safety following a family and domestic violence (FDV) crisis and were supported to identify needs, develop safety and recovery plans, and engage with supports located within the Ruah Community Services Centre for Women and Children (RCWC) building.

The successful respondent operated 13 new units in the RCWC building, accommodating up to 13 women and 26 children at any one time.
