I am writing with the exciting news that the OneFACS Service Centre expression of interest (EOI) for all non-government organisations in the Illawarra Shoalhaven District is now open and accessible via the Community Builders website.
In June 2015, the NSW Department of Family and Community Services (FACS) Illawarra Shoalhaven District (ISD) will deliver a state of the art OneFACS Service Centre in Coniston.
The aim of the Centre is to provide an integrated and innovative space where non-government organisations (NGOs) and government agencies can work together to break the cycle of disadvantage for local clients. Through the co-location of the three FACS agencies (Community Services; Ageing, Disability and Home Care; and, Housing NSW) and local human service providers, it is envisaged that the Centre will create collaborative and coordinated responses to endemic social issues in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven.
To realise these aims, ISD is seeking NGOs who can provide support in the following areas:
- people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness;
- people suffering from financial hardship or joblessness, or those at risk;
- people affected by domestic or family violence;
- people with disabilities;
- people with mental illness;
- people with substance misuse issues;
- children and youth at risk
- families at risk; or,
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.
All information and documentation regarding the EOI process, including the application form and applicant guide is available on the Community Builders website from 9am Monday,16 March until 2pm on Monday, 13 April 2015. Please note that any applications sent after this time will not be assessed.
