Tender Description

The Central, Southern and Western Queensland Rainfall and Flooding, Ex-Tropical Cyclone Seth, the South East Queensland Flooding, and the Southern Queensland Flooding events between December 2021 and May 2022 caused extensive damage and cumulative trauma in numerous localities across Central, Southern and Western Queensland. The Department of Communities, Housing and Digital Economy (DCHDE) in consultation with affected communities, has examined the capacity and capability of the existing community services system to meet the needs of affected community members. Where existing capability and/or capacity is exceeded and there is a requirement for extraordinary services to supplement the system, DCHDE is able to purchase additional relief, recovery or resilience focussed services.

The Queensland Community Recovery Package is targeted at communities identified as most in need and with limited or stretched community recovery capacity. All components offer support and assistance to aid longer term recovery and are tailored to meet increased demand resulting from the disaster. This procurement activity aims to identify a suitable Supplier to deliver an Individual Support: Financial Wellbeing Service (Financial Counselling and Advocacy/Financial Resilience (T447)) across 19 disaster-declared Local Government Areas over a 19-month period from 1 December 2022 to 30 June 2024 per the Program Guidelines (Attachment 1). In delivering the services (Financial Counselling and Advocacy/Financial Resilience (T447)) Suppliers will be required to comply with the relevant requirements and considerations specified in the Individuals Investment Specification, version 4.5.

Funding under the Individuals Investment Specification contributes to the following outcomes:

• improved personal safety

• enhanced sense of healing and wellbeing

• connected to appropriate services and information

• reduced immediate financial stress

• increased overall resilience and self-reliance.
