24.5Clause 5.1.1 of the Annex E to the Statement of Requirements refers to ECEI Partner support that may include, but is not limited to, access to information, and direct provision of strategies, family based education, therapy, parenting support, service planning and access to the community. In this context, is it essential the ECEI partner provide a trans-disciplinary model of service delivery (ie. multiple disciplines in regionally located teams)?
The principle of access to trans-disciplinary support is considered by the NDIA to be a core principle underlying the ECEI approach. However, potential Applicants may choose how to frame their approach to ECEI Service delivery in any application and will be assessed according to the Assessment Criteria set out in clause 4 of the Program Guidelines.
