Housing and Accommodation Support Initiative (HASI) and Community Living Supports (CLS) 2025 Tender

​​​HASI / CLS 2025-26 open tender

The Mental Health Branch (the Branch) will be leading an open tender for the Housing and Support Initiative (HASI) and Community Living Supports (CLS) program in 2025-26 as current funding agreements end on 30 June 2026 and cannot be extended beyond that date.

An open tender process is due to NSW Government procurement needs to ensure funding is fair and transparent, the procurement process is not a result of our current providers' performance.

In 2025-26 the Branch will work the local health districts (LHDs) to manage a state-wide competitive tender process to implement a contemporary service support model, continuing to empower people with a severe mental health challenge.

​Stage One - HASI and CLS Service Model Review​​​

​​​​In preparation for the 2025-26 open tender process for the HASI / CLS program, the Branch is partnering with the Agency of Clinical Innovation (ACI) and H4 Consulting to engage key stakeholders to review and refresh the landmark HASI / CLS model.

ACI and H4 Consulting will provide specialist skills to undertake the review as a two-part review process.   Part A will be to conduct a review of the current service model and its operation principles.  Part B will be to conduct a pricing review of currently pricing structure and benchmarks.

Conducting a comprehensive review of the HASI / CLS service model and pricing structure with ACI and H4 Consulting allows for the service model review to be conducted by independent parties, ensuring a refreshed and contemporary approach is agreed to prior to an open tender in 2025-26.​​
