Tender ID: 406516
Tender Details
Tender Description
The Department is seeking to procure a supplier to undertake a rigorous evaluation of the Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program.
The Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program is a licenced adaptation of the international Nurse-Family Partnership from the University of Colorado. The Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program supports women pregnant with an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander child through pre-natal care until the child is two years old through sustained nurse-led home visiting. Home visiting teams work to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children and their families by providing health information specific to the mother and baby, parenting and social support, coordination of health care and through assisting parents and children to access other support services.
The Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program is implemented under a Licence Agreement from the University of Colorado and was first implemented in three sites in 2009, before being expanded to 13 sites from 2015-16 to 2017-18.
The Department is seeking to procure a supplier to undertake a rigorous evaluation of the Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program.
The Evaluation will be conducted to the specifications outlined in the Approach to Market and over a duration of four years.
These specifications have been informed by a scoping study and evaluation design process which incorporated extensive consultation and co-design with key stakeholders, including implementing organisations, the University of Colorado and the Australian Nurse-Family Partnership Program Leadership Group, to ensure the experiences and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other program stakeholders were included.
