I am advised:
(1) WA Country Health Service (WACHS) will continue to support the EHAC service until it has been transitioned to an Aboriginal community service organisation with appropriate expertise in the provision of culturally safe accommodation services.
(2) WACHS anticipates that the EHAC service will be transitioned to an Aboriginal community service organisation within 12 months, under the Aboriginal Procurement and Delivering Community Services in Partnership Policies, subject to interest from the sector and due diligence assessment.
