The Department for Child Protection (DCP) aims to return children and young people to the care of their birth family, when it is safe and in the child’s best interests to do so through supporting  families to make the changes necessary for their children and young people to return safely and permanently to their care.  Family Reunification is used to describe the planned process of returning a child home to parent/s after a period in care.

DCP is seeking multiple providers of Family Reunification Services to deliver high quality, therapeutically-oriented, and culturally responsive interventions that improve parenting capacity and family functioning, so that children and young people can be reunified safely and permanently with their families.

DCP is committed to ensuring young people are connected to country, language and community and supports Aboriginal family led decision making and adherence to the Aboriginal Child Placement Principles to ensure the delivery of culturally safe and responsive family reunification services.

Please note changes to the listed procurements and timeframes may occur without notice and the plan will be regularly reviewed and updated. To keep up to date with DCP’s procurements, please ensure you are registered on the SA Tenders and Contracts website www.tenders.sa.gov.au.
