About this tender
Overview The Department for Education (SA) is inviting Registrations of Interest from providers of external mental health and wellbeing programs, for inclusion on the department's preferred 'open' multi-use list. About The Department for Education South Australia has established a preferred 'open' multi-use list of providers of external mental health and wellbeing programs. Approved programs are included on an internal departmental directory that South Australian government schools can access when seeking a program from an external provider to meet the needs of their students.

Purpose The purpose of this Registration of Interest (ROI) is to expand the preferred 'open' multi-use list of external providers of mental health and wellbeing programs, to enable South Australian primary and secondary schools to choose evidence-informed programs relevant to their needs.
