About
You will provide support to young people with a disability who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness and are transitioning to adulthood and have been, or are currently, subject to statutory intervention.
Eligibility • To be eligible to receive support from the Open Minds - Transition and Post Care Support - Disability program, young people must: - be between 15-20 years at the time of referral and transition out of the program by 21 years of age - have a disability - be at risk of homelessness as they transition to adulthood Referral Pathway • Young people that have a disability, who may not receive support through the NDIS and need assistance to develop the skills needed to maintain safe and stable housing as they transition to adulthood, should receive priority.
• From 15 years direct referrals are received from Child Safety.
• Post care (18 - 20 years) young people can self-refer or with support from another organisation.
Expectations • It is expected that a Transition Officer should have 12-15 young people on their caseload at a time.
• Young people that are receiving support need to have a clear exit pathway, which focuses on establishing and strengthening community connections, referring to long-term support services if assessed, and building skills to minimise housing vulnerability.
• Interconnections with other specific transition from care programs (Specialist Services Team, DCSYW, and non-government organisations including Next Step Plus) are strengthened and provide an integrated service response for young people with a disability who are at risk of homelessness as they transition to adulthood.
Eligibility, referral pathway and expectations will be monitored through the performance measures in each reporting period.
