Request for Application Open for Community Residential Services Panel
We have released a Request for Application (RFA) to join a Residential Services Panel Agreement for the provision of Community Residential Services.
The Panel will provide Community Residential Support Services for people with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) and Physical Disabilities (PD).
The RFA opens on 16 June 2025, with applications closing on 30 July 2025.
On 3 July DSS will host an Industry Briefing for providers. This webinar will step through the RFA process and provide an opportunity to ask any clarification questions.
More information on the RFA is available on the DSS website.
This RFA follows our work in response to Recommendation 2 of the 2024 Independent Review, which called for an urgent review of pricing and contracting for residential care.
More information on this new procurement response, and our work to introduce a new pricing model for community residential providers is also available.
