To assist Invitation to Apply (ITA) Applicants to develop their proposal for their ITA application, the Department of Education has engaged Community Connections Solutions Australia (CCSA) to provide a Qualified Construction Consultancy Service to ITA Applicants. The Department has issued Terms of Use to ITA applicants separately. CCSA will provide services directly and through our subcontractor partners, ThomsonAdsett and QS1.

CCSA will be engaged by the ITA Applicant but funded by the Department for a maximum of 17 hours. ITA Applicants may decide to engage CCSA directly for more than the maximum number of hours described above or outside the scope of work described in below at the ITA Applicant’s cost. Where additional supported is requested CCSA can provide this to ITA applicants under a separate scope of works.
