    Brief

    This opportunity seeks providers to deliver two integrated support services for vulnerable children and young people: (1) Advocacy Services - offering independent, confidential information, advice, representation and support to help children and young people voice their views, wishes and needs to professionals making decisions about their lives, and navigate complex systems during transitions; and (2) Independent Visitor Services - trained volunteer mentors who provide stable, caring adult relationships outside formal care arrangements, visiting children in their homes to offer friendship, guidance and support as they grow up. Both services function as preventative measures to identify and address problems early, protect children from harm, ensure their wellbeing, and prevent system-level failures. Services must comply with the National Standards for the Provision of Children and Young People's Advocacy Services 2023 and support national reforms including Family First principles.
