A priority of Western Australia’s Strengthening Responses to Family and Domestic Violence System Reform Plan 2024-2029 is to establish a dedicated Family and Domestic Violence Workforce Entity (the Entity) to support a system-wide workforce.
The Entity will support workforce development across government, the community sector and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and will have a role in supporting implementation of the family and domestic violence Workforce Capability Framework, which is a related action in the System Reform Plan.
The Department of Communities, informed by the Workforce Development Working Group, supported a consultation process to design the Entity’s functions, working closely with the community sector, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and government stakeholders.
On 4 February 2025 the Entity Operating Model was endorsed for progression by the Family and Domestic Violence Implementation Oversight Group. The Entity Operating Model defines the vision, objectives and functions of the Entity and details the robust governance model required to ensure it fulfils its functions efficiently and effectively and delivers on its vision and objectives.
On 18 March 2025 an Early Tender Advice announcement was made on TendersWA with advice and information to support future applicants to the Open Tender Process. This can be viewed through the link below:
Further updates and information regarding this process and the establishment of the Entity will be provided through this page.
