Commissioning of Earlier Intervention and Family Support Programs 2024-25

The Earlier Intervention and Family Support Strategy, and its programs of targeted supports and services, aims to meet the needs of families facing complex challenges and those most at risk of involvement with the child protection system.
Last updated:

Communities will be seeking to purchase the following Earlier Intervention and Family Support (EIFS) programs and services commencing in 2024:

  • The Family Support Network – in the Perth metropolitan corridors:
    • Joondalup/Mirrabooka, Perth/Midland, Armadale/Cannington and Fremantle/Rockingham.
  • Intensive Family Support Service – in metropolitan and regional locations:
    • Armadale, Cannington, Fremantle, Joondalup, Midland, Mirrabooka, Perth, Peel and Rockingham
    • Goldfields, Great Southern, Murchison, Wheatbelt and West Kimberley
  • The Regional Service Model (to be renamed the Regional Family Support Hub) – in the South West region.

Communities will be undertaking a different procurement approach for EIFS programs depending on whether these programs are delivered in the metropolitan area or in regional locations. This approach has been aligned with key objectives of Communities’ Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) Strategy 2022-2032, and the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, to increase opportunities for ACCOs to deliver services for their communities.
