Youth Support Services for At-Risk Young People by Queensland Police-Citizens Youth Welfare Association

About

DCSSDS awarded a contract to Queensland Police-Citizens Youth Welfare Association for specialised services and support to young people in the catchment area who lack protective factors such as family, friends, community, school, and cultural connections, enabling them to lead safe, healthy, and active lives.

The contract includes Information, Advice and Referral (T103) and Case Management (T314), delivered through culturally responsive practices that embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in program design, delivery, and evaluation, with respectful engagement with Traditional Owners and the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

The supplier uses the Youth Wellbeing Common Assessment Tool (CAT) to identify needs and develop tailored case plans, and coordinates with other services such as housing, counselling, and skills development.

The contract value is AUD 1,109,500, procured via a limited method.
