Application forms are completed by the assigned Caseworker in conjunction with a case management plan outlining goals and support to be purchased with flexible support packages funding. The Plan needs to clearly identify how the flexible support package will support the victim/survivor:
- to establish sustainable arrangements that support their long-term health and wellbeing
- in preventing intervention by child protection
- in leaving their current family arrangements in which family violence is occurring.
Plans will be reviewed every three months to assess the progress towards achieving outcomes. Regular and ongoing updates of risk and safety planning will be reviewed by the Western VACCA panel to determine suitability, eligibility and priority for flexible support packages. Requests will be processed by finances and followed up by the assigned Caseworker.
