Central and Eastern Sydney Primary Health Network (CESPHN) invites suitable short-term accommodation services to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to receive free of charge place-based healthcare services at their accommodation. This service is delivered through CESPHN’s Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence (DFSV) Health Assist.
DFSV Health Assist is funded by Department of Health and Aged Care (DoHAC) as part of the Supporting Outreach Healthcare for Victim-Survivors of Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence Pilot. DFSV Health Assist offers migrant women and children and those on temporary visas in select refuges free health care provided by a Nurse Practitioner, and allied health and other health services as needed. By embedding health services within refuges, the pilot aims to remove accessibility barriers and meet the health needs of victim-survivors, that may otherwise be neglected due to the often debilitating challenges of escaping abuse.
Applicants must be located within the CESPHN catchment area, be able to provide an appropriate consultation space and have the capacity to collaborate with a Nurse Practitioner, Coordinator and other health practitioners. The service must have demonstrable experience in providing trauma-informed care to women and children impacted by domestic and family violence and working with culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
DFSV Health Assist will commence from date of contract execution and will last for two years, with a review after six months from signing the contract. The proposed timeframe is currently July 2025-July 2027.
