Early intervention and prevention services are dedicated, frontline workers who often achieve incredible outcomes, with limited resources.
We are dedicated to strengthening the sector and increasing the sector’s capacity and capability, whilst also advocating for needed increases to funding.
We do this by:
- Building skills and knowledge in evidence-based practice
- Contributing to development of the sector workforce
- Contributing to or conduct research to build evidence
- Supporting innovative solutions
- Promoting continuous improvement using data, reporting and evaluation
- Building collaborative platforms to increase knowledge and capacity
- Developing commissioning and contract literacy
- Fostering connections across the sector
Examples of this include:
- DEX Sector Support Clinics – DEX support clinics are 1-hour, one-on-one support sessions. These spaces are focused on improving data entry, collection and understanding DEX reports.
- Amplify Our Sector – this project deep dives into reporting data to discover stories of impact and is accompanied by a suite of simple tools and templates for free use. Services can use these resources to demonstrate the impact to various stakeholders – from local MPs to funding bodies and the public.
“I gained so much insight with my sessions today that will help me to move forward with my DEX reporting. Very grateful.”
“Fams have been great to deal with. They have excellent knowledge of the DEX portal and are able to meet orgs where they are at.”
