WA Primary Health Alliance (WAPHA) is seeking to commission an organisation or partnership to achieve the following outcomes:

• Enhance the awareness and uptake of existing peer support activities within a community for consumers, their families, carers, and friends.
• Increase capacity and capability of existing peer support organisations to provide their services.

To achieve these outcomes the commissioned provider will auspice a small grant funds program to eligible peer support groups, for eligible activities that support their capacity and capability and increase their access to at-risk consumers experiencing depression and/or suicidality, their families, friends and/or carers.

The provider will be required to prioritise focus locations in the SA3 regions of Swan, Armadale, Bunbury, Manjimup, Goldfields, Esperance, Mid-West and Kimberley.

Specifically, the funds for this activity are directed to the organisational capacity of peer support groups and is designed to complement a separate capacity building activity for peer support workers (RFQ832)
