(26) How are award amounts calculated.
Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Supportlink and Communities@Work had previously expressed an interest during the 2010-2011 community consultation budget process.
(2) The Directorate did not hold any discussions of this type. The Victims of Crime Commissioner had joint discussions with VOCAL and Communities@Work about a proposal for those agencies to deliver services collaboratively.
(3) Greater emphasis was placed on the delivery of a volunteer program that would be tailored to provide very specific services, such as court support, assistance with financial assistance applications and the delivery of a community awareness program.
(4) The tender did not specifically encourage collaboration between community-based organisations.
(5) There was no pre-qualification process.
(6) The contract terms may be found on the Shared Services Procurement website.
(7) Victim Support ACT (VSACT) pays psychologists and social workers a fee of $120.
