Brief

Expressions of interest are sought by the Customer in relation to the supply of hospital avoidance and discharge support services for National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) eligible persons aged 0-65 years who may experience complex behaviours of concern (BoC) and are medically ready for discharge from hospital, or who are in the community and do not require hospital-based acute healthcare support. **NOTE** Potential suppliers should read the attached EOI document. The document contains a link to register to attend a market briefing planned for Monday 1 September 2025 at 3pm via Microsoft Teams. Achieving timely hospital discharge and facilitating smooth care transitions between home and hospital is an important part of ensuring Queenslanders receive the care and support they need. Submissions may need to consider transitional solutions however, long-term solutions should be prioritised. The services sought through this process will contribute to the Queensland Government’s initiatives and commitments aimed at addressing extended hospital stays beyond the point of clinical need and enhancing hospital avoidance strategies. The purpose of this EOI is to identify potential Suppliers with the requisite capacity, capability and experience to deliver a range of best practice services in support of LSYP, including those with BoC, which avoid non-clinically indicated hospital admission and expedite discharge through transitional disability care services and/or accommodation supports. The EOI process has been specifically selected to embed flexibility through the procurement and encourage innovative and novel solutions from a range of Suppliers.
