Service Coordination Tool Templates 2012 (SCTT 2012)
The SCTT 2012 Revision Project Governance Structure outlines the review and endorsement process for improvements to the SCTT, SCTT User Guide and recommendations for the Victorian Service Coordination Practice Manual. The various committees and groups comprise senior representatives from across government, the sector and relevant peak bodies.
Key Changes & Implications
The SCTT 2012 review is the broadest to-date to accommodate health and human services and has resulted in a number of significant improvements and changes to the SCTT which includes:
- a new accommodation and safety template developed by housing and homelessness programs, family violence and aged care
- a new drug, alcohol & tobacco template developed by alcohol and other drugs program
- a new single page screener of health and social needs, service provider and consumer administered versions
- amendments focusing on people with a disability, carers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
Given the significant changes to SCTT 2012 consideration needs to be given to the implications for business processes and work practices. The introduction of new templates may require a review of current business processes to accommodate changes and a review of work practices to align with new programmatic content.
