KLR Communications wishes to congratulate our client Settlement Services International (SSI) in its successful bid to deliver the Home Care Workforce Support Program in NSW and ACT.

SSI is one of six organisations chosen and will share in more than $91 million of funding which has been allocated to organisations in each state and territory.

The Home Care Workforce Program aims to grow the nation’s home care workforce by 13,000 over the next two years.

SSI will help to develop and enhance aged care by:

  • promoting training and support opportunities for new recruits and others who wish to upskill
  • supporting new recruits to navigate and access training opportunities
  • providing virtual mentoring and career guidance support to students undertaking training
  • linking trained personal carers to job vacancies in the home and community care sector
  • providing advice and training to the aged care industry on recruitment strategies and how to maintain a diverse workforce

“This was an exciting tender project to work on with the team at SSI and this win enables this great organisation to expand its services into a new and critically important area. Increasing the home care workforce will allow more people to access personal supports and to remain living independently at home for longer“, said Kathryn Garth, Managing Director, KLR Communications.

KLR Communications’ client, ITEC Group, has been successfully appointed to the panel of Family Group Conferencing facilitation service providers, working in conjunction with the NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) to deliver culturally appropriate conferencing services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families in NSW.

ITEC Group will provide culturally appropriate case managers to deliver family-focused, strengths based forms of alternative dispute resolution that encourages greater family decision making and better protects vulnerable members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

DCJ objectives include increasing the proportion of children and young people in safe and stable homes, and helping families earlier with services that address their identified needs. Collaboration takes place with government, non-government and community partners to work with children, adults, families and communities to improve lives and realise potential, with a focus on breaking, rather than managing, disadvantage.

With an important focus on keeping Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities together, the Family Group Conferencing program aims to:

  • Empower parents and families in making decisions to ensure the safety and well-being of children and young people at risk of significant harm, through the development and implementation of a Family Plan.
  • Improve outcomes for children and young people by providing them and their extended family with a stronger voice in decisions about their care.
  • Maintain children in the care of family where possible by including extended family in the FGC process.
  • Build respectful relationships and communication between DCJ and families.
