Details

The Department of Youth Justice and Victim Support (the Department) is seeking proposals to deliver the Gold Standard Early Intervention – Proven Initiatives program. This program is designed to prevent and reduce youth offending and improve life outcomes for youth at-risk of offending.

The target cohort for this program is youth aged 8 to 17 years who are:

  • displaying early signs of criminal and/or anti-social behaviours (e.g. drug and alcohol misuse, anger management issues); and
  • disengaged from school or at high risk of exclusion; or
  • at risk of coming into contact with police and/or court systems; or
  • siblings of youth on youth justice orders.

This group is at risk of escalating into the statutory youth justice system without timely and effective intervention.

The program aims to:

  • Provide timely and effective interventions for youth at risk of entering the statutory youth justice system.
  • Strengthen family and community supports to build protective factors.
  • Improve engagement with education, training, or employment.
  • Enhance wellbeing and resilience.

Suppliers are expected to deliver structured, evidence-based services that align with these goals and demonstrate measurable outcomes.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this education & training opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
