Primary Care Gold Coast Limited (trading as Gold Coast Primary Health Network [GCPHN]) is seeking responses to this Request for Proposal (RFP) from eligible organisations to provide wound management services (the Services) for people in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs) within the GCPHN region.

GCPHN is seeking to improve outcomes for people with chronic and complex wounds who are living in RACFs. This will be achieved through a nurse led, in reach program that will provide access to specialist wound advice and mentoring that supports the effective assessment, care plan development and management for these patients in their usual place of residence, the RACF, thus reducing the requirement to transfer residents to hospital for additional clinical interventions.

GCPHN requires the provider to:
- Develop service delivery model in partnership with industry expert group.
- Develop patient-centred wound assessment and management plans.
- Coordinate care across the usual GP, RACF staff and other treating clinicians including a local GP with special interest in wound care and hospital specialist services.
- On-site mentoring and coaching of staff to embed best practice within the specific RACF environment.
- Support via telephone and secure electronic messaging.
- Development of a local care pathway, standardised guidelines, information and resources.
