About
Department of Human Services (DHS) awarded a contract to Meals on Wheels SA Inc for the provision and continued delivery of community meals, wellbeing checks, and referral support services to vulnerable South Australians who were ineligible for assistance through the NDIS or Aged Care system.
The contract delivered nutritionally appropriate meals and wrap-around support to promote food security and social inclusion for disadvantaged individuals, including people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people in rural and remote areas, and financially disadvantaged clients.
The service included wellbeing checks and referrals to other supports to help clients remain connected within the community and improve overall wellbeing, with an emphasis on high-quality, value-for-money delivery.
Providers with established community meal delivery networks and capacity to provide wrap-around client support are often positioned to win these contracts; the award reflected DHS's emphasis on supporting cohorts not covered by NDIS or Aged Care and on addressing food security and social inclusion outcomes.
