Targeted Care Packages (TCPs) are an initiative of the Department of Health and Human Services in response to the State Government priority to reduce the number of children/young people residing in residential care. TCPs are creative and innovative placements developed around specific children/young people aged 0-18 years as a wrap-around service incorporating all aspects of support and brokerage required in order for them to successfully transition out of residential care to any alternative form of placement where their needs will be better met.
TCPs are designed to provide holistic support to children/young people, their family, carers and others through a care team model, across the service system. They are designed to follow the child/young person throughout the remainder of their care experience, for a period of up to six months post reunification or permanent care and up to twelve months from the end of their last order if leaving care as an 17 or 18 year old. By their nature, TCPs are designed to sit outside of traditional program boundaries.
Please Note: It is mandatory for the successful applicant to hold a current Working with Children Check and be prepared to undergo a National Criminal History Check prior to commencement. In line with Anglicare Victoria’s Covid 19 Vaccination Policy we require all staff, students and volunteers to provide evidence of full vaccination against Covid-19 or provide a valid medical exemption.
