Partnerships Addressing Disadvantage The 2023-24 Victorian Budget announced funding for a sixth Partnerships Addressing Disadvantage (PAD) initiative. PADs have driven innovation in social services and outcome-based funding in Victoria in recent years. Previously referred to as Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) in Victoria, PADs establish partnerships between the Victorian Government, service providers and investors to improve social outcomes for disadvantaged cohorts and are a form of social impact investing. This new PAD represents a further opportunity for the Government to partner with the service delivery sector and investors to continue improving outcomes for those who need it most. The target cohort for this new PAD will be young people requiring alcohol and other drug treatment with multiple and complex needs. Please ensure you read through all tender documents - this is not limited to the Request for Proposal and Invitation to Supply documents, but other requirements listed in the Bidder Checklist, such as Local Jobs First Policy and Fair Jobs Code requirements. For any questions, contact the DTF PADs Unit at pads@dtf.vic.gov.au

This grant opportunity is part of the Youpla Support Program, which was announced by the Australian Government on 8 February 2024 as its enduring resolution for people impacted by the collapse of the funeral insurance provider, the Youpla Group. The Youpla Group (formerly the Aboriginal Community Benefits Fund) was a funeral expenses insurer that primarily marketed its products to First Nations people.

The Youpla Support Program will provide a Resolution Payment to Eligible Persons to help them recover from this harm.  Subject to the exclusions set out in the Youpla Support Program Guidelines an Eligible Person will be offered as a Funeral Bond (delivered as a procurement) as the default option with the right to opt out and receive a Cash Payment (delivered as a grant). The Funeral Bond will be procured by NIAA on behalf of the Eligible Person. The Cash Payment will be made to the Eligible Person as a grant under the Youpla Support Guidelines.
