CSNSW Funded Partnership Initiative (FPI) – Extended Reintegration Service (ERS)

Overview The Department of Communities and Justice (NSW) intends to partner with a suitable non-government organisation to deliver post-release support services under the CSNSW Funded Partnership Initiative (FPI), specifically the Extended Reintegration Service (ERS), for individuals recently released from custody with complex needs who are at risk of homelessness. This is an advance notice only, with an estimated tender release date of Monday 26th October 2026. Purpose The FPI supports CSNSW's strategic priorities to reduce reoffending, promote rehabilitation and reintegration, and enhance community safety. The ERS program recognises that the period immediately following release from custody is a critical time for intervention. By providing stable supported accommodation and connecting participants with community-based services, ERS helps address barriers to reintegration and supports long-term reductions in reoffending. ERS provides post-release support to individuals who frequently have complex support needs and experience barriers linked to offending behaviour.
