The purpose of this Request for Quote (RFQ) is to engage a provider to undertake an evaluation of the services delivered in the ACT under the Improved Access to Psychological Services in Residential Aged Care Homes (RACHs). This evaluation will provide an evidence base to assess the effectiveness, implementation and value of the program, and inform future decision-making regarding its sustainability, refinement and potential integration within broader service and funding models.
CHN is inviting applications from potential providers to:
- Assess the effectiveness of the service model implemented and the extent to which it was implemented as intended, including alignment with original program guidance and any adaptations required to support implementation and sustainability.
- Assess the impact and value of the program for residents, staff and the broader RACH system. This may include consideration of resident outcomes and experience, staff capability, organisational impacts, service uptake and operational factors influencing delivery.
- Assess system integration and sustainability, including how the provision of psychological services in RACHs potentially aligns with existing funding models and initiatives, and identify gaps, opportunities and recommendations to support long-term sustainability.
