Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health Services– Request for Proposal of Service
Sydney North Health Network is now inviting organisations to apply to provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health Services across the Northern Sydney region through a Request for Proposal Process, with services to commence from January, 2017.
Aims of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health Services
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are included as a priority population across all of SNPHN’s mental health initiatives and additional, specific funding is provided here to enhance service responses for Aboriginal people.
A variety of possible service delivery options will be considered and exist due to this open tender opportunity.
- Increased quality and capacity of culturally safe mental health services (high intensity services, psychological services, low intensity services, services for children and young people). This could be provided by improved coordination between Aboriginal mental health and drug and alcohol services; improved access to GPs with cultural competence and mental health skills and knowledge; system improvement that coordinates care around Aboriginal people’s needs; strengthened capacity to identify Aboriginal people at risk of suicide, and therefore improved support and coordination by service providers, system improvement that makes care navigation easy for Aboriginal people and/or their service providers; system improvement that supports use of multidisciplinary teams and shared collaborative care for Aboriginal people.
- Increased capacity for Aboriginal people to access culturally safe ‘mainstream’ mental health services. This could be for various groups of Aboriginal people, and could also focus on particular service types (e.g. high intensity services, low intensity services).
Closing date for submissions: 4:00pm on Wednesday the 30th of November.

Integrated Team Care (ITC) – Request for proposal of service
Sydney North Health Network is now inviting organisations to submit a Request for Proposal to provide Integrated Team Care (ITC) services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, with the service to commence from January 2017.
Aims of Integrated Team Care
Sydney North Health Network is looking to work collaboratively with local organisations and the community to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health access and outcomes in Northern Sydney.
Currently, the Sydney North Health Network provides Integrated Team Care Services (ITC) across the Northern Sydney region. The aim of the program is to improve health outcomes for local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with chronic health conditions through better access to coordinated and multidisciplinary care; and to close the life expectancy gap. The intended service will need to provide improved access to culturally appropriate mainstream primary care services including general practice, allied health and specialists. Sydney North Health Network is now looking to commission this ITC service for Northern Sydney.
The establishment of the ITC has come from the Commonwealth evaluations of the CCSS (Care Coordination and Supplementary Services) and IIAMPC (Improving Indigenous Access to Mainstream Primary Care), which highlighted the benefit of having integrated Indigenous health teams. ITC formalises this team approach so that patients will be supported across the full pathway of care, from encouragement and assistance to accessing health care through to provision of multidisciplinary care.
Closing date for submissions: 4.00pm on Tuesday 22nd November 2016.
