A8.05 External Service Providers
•
Section Summary
•
Often there will be a requirement for external service providers to attend site to provide onsite temporary or ‘pop up’ services to the residents such as medical and other health services, employment, and other government services. This also extends to more permanent service providers such as Supported Independent Living providers, if required, for the SDA residents.
External Service Providers Considerations Checklist:
•
Consideration is to be given to the functionality of the building for external service providers, for whom the building may be a workplace. This might include Supported Independent Living (SIL) providers who frequently move in and out of buildings to support SDA residents (refer A8.03 for OOA requirements). Consider provision for shared o ce space where nominated by HCA (ie. Could be shared by service providers supporting SDA residents) or could there be hot desks in the HCA o ce (refer A8.04 for HCA Onsite O ce requirements). Any onsite o ce provisions for external service providers is to be confirmed with HCA at the briefing stage.
