Family Intervention Services

Start date:	Saturday 30 May 2009
End date:	Monday 27 July 2009
Funds available:	$3,832,530
Geographic area:	Statewide
Status:	Closed

Purpose

The purpose of this funding is to enhance access to Family Intervention Services for families of children and young people under 18 years who are subject to ongoing child protection statutory intervention, and the child or young person is living in either an out-of-home placement or in the family home.

Target group

Family Intervention Services will be targeted to parents and other immediate family members in a direct caring role of children who are referred exclusively by the Department of Communities (Child Safety Services):

1. When the case plan goal or review of a case plan goal is:
   • reunification within 12 months
   • support is required for the parent(s) with a child living at home under a Child Protection Order – i.e. a Protective Supervision Order or a Directive Order - which requires specific actions involving the family
   • support is required for the parent(s) with a child living at home under an Intervention with Parental Agreement (IPA) or Support Service case to prevent any likelihood of the child entering out-of-home care.
2. The age group is inclusive of children and young people aged from unborn to 18 years.
