responses from entities interested in designing and delivering industry pilots that help young people gain the skills and experience they need to find sustainable work. the australian government has made available $10 million to help industry organisations develop pathways for young people to gain work experience and employment. this initiative responds to calls from industry for greater input in selecting, training, matching and supporting young job seekers into work. the industry pilots will test the effectiveness and benefits of industry-led pre-employment pathways designed to fast track young people into work. industry pilot providers will have direct access to work experience and job opportunities for young people and deliver pre-employment pathways tailored to the needs of suitable employers within the industry pilot timeframe. the industry pilots build upon the already successful youth jobs path initiative that has helped almost 50, 000 young job seekers find work. industry pilots must be delivered in australia and can be delivered nationally, in one or more states or in a single location. entities such as industry groups, business peak bodies, employers and group training organisations are strongly encouraged to respond to the reoi. the procurement will be undertaken in two stages: stage one – reoi stage two – request for tender rft open only to respondents to the reoi shortlisted by the department. respondents interested in designing and delivering an industry-led pilot must submit a response in accordance with the requirements outlined in the reoi in order to be considered for the rft stage.
provision of private hospital services for entitled persons by publishing this invitation to provide private hospital services to the veteran community. dva serves australia’s veteran community, through the provision of programmes of care, compensation and commemoration. dva’s aim is to secure high quality private hospital care for entitled persons delivered for a fair price, at the most convenient locations for entitled persons. as the veteran community ages, their capacity to access a wider range of care appropriate to their needs is increasingly important. managing emerging and different needs of contemporary veterans is also a priority. dva also aims to continually improve the quality and safety of services, and the health outcomes for dva clients, through the purchase of evidence-based treatment services. dva’s new approach to contracting for private hospital services in the past dva contracted with private hospitals for services to entitled persons through a request for tenders rft. the current process that dva is engaging in with private hospital providers is not an rft. dva has introduced new arrangements for providers to contract with dva. this is a simplified contracting model that dva is using to facilitate engagement with suitably qualified providers. a summary of the key features of the new arrangements are: maximising the numbers of participating providers to achieve wide access to private hospitals services for the veteran community; there is no competition, all qualified providers can participate; while providers are required to submit the fee tables, there is no requirement for tender submission or evaluation of tenders; providers self-certify their compliance with dva’s terms and conditions of the hospital services agreement; providers can enter into the hospital services agreement at any time and the hospital services agreement will continue until dva ends the arrangements or the contracting entity exits the arrangements with dva; and negotiation only on fees to ensure value for money.

consultants and contractors to submit a tender for the development and delivery of a training program for itar and ear to be developed and delivered in melbourne, sydney, brisbane, adelaide, perth, and canberra to end june 2020. the training should provide defence smes with practical expertise and an understanding of current best practice for handling technologies controlled under itar or ear. the delivery and course material should be focused on an australian sme managing us export controlled items from a practical industry perspective, including examples of current best practice. at the completion of the training, sme participants should have developed a thorough understanding of the regulations and what is needed to ensure their companies handle controlled technologies appropriately. initiatives such as the us government’s ongoing export control reform and the australia – us defence trade controls treaty are to be addressed. additionally, there has been a shift in the jurisdiction of control from the itar to the ear following the us government’s export control reform agenda. given this, many australian defence smes need to revise and implement new processes to manage items under both jurisdictions. the training should address this issue. beyond the initial delivery of six workshops, there are three additional extension options, each comprising a minimum of 4 workshops and delivered in subsequent financial years.
falling number fn is a global industry standard used to quantify detrimental pre-harvest sprouting phs in wheat, as early release from seed dormancy leads to significant effects on end product quality. however, a low falling number can also be caused by the trait of late maturity alpha-amylase lma, with some wheats having a genetic predisposition to accumulate low levels of starch digesting enzymes during grain filling in the absence of sprouting. lma susceptibility is currently a classification criterion for milling wheat in australia. due to the cost involved in the current lma susceptibility screen, it is currently employed at a late phase in the breeding pathway of australian wheat breeding programs, which significantly restricts genetic gains for yield and other traits in australian wheat varieties. investment description this investment is one of three interrelated investments aimed at managing and eliminating the effect of late maturity alpha-amylase lma in wheat through improved phenotyping and modelling: proc-9176016 lma project a – improved phenotyping for late maturity alpha-amylase lma susceptibility in wheat; proc-9176017 lma project b – a novel high-throughput, low-cost test to determine cause of starch damage in wheat grain; and lma project c – an improved model of late maturity alpha-amylase lma field risk in australian wheat. this procurement focusses on the development of an innovative lma susceptibility screening methodology that has increased throughput, scalability, repeatability and significantly reduced costs in comparison to the current benchmark assay. it is expected that the successful applicant will propose a multi-disciplinary approach with potential inputs from fields such as phenomics, molecular biology, biometrics, plant physiology, plant breeding and genetics. innovative solutions may also borrow from other disciplines such as robotics, medical sciences, mathematics and engineering. the successful applicant will be expected to actively engage with industry stakeholders australian wheat breeding companies and wheat quality australia as well as the successful applicant of ‘lma project c – an improved model of late maturity alpha-amylase lma field risk in australian wheat’. expected outcome by 2030, late maturity alpha-amylase lma risk is managed within the australian wheat industry as to maximise genetic gains and minimise downgrades to improve enduring profitability for australian growers. intermediate outcome by 2023, australian industry will have access to accurate, high-throughput screening tools for lma expression that are employable early in breeding programs, research programs and applicable to a more cost effective, higher throughput lma classification screen; growers will have the ability to determine starch damage of grain on-farm; and the industry as a whole will have access to accurate field risk profiles of lma to inform decision making. this will be achieved through the three interrelated investments. expected output output 1 by 2023, an improved lma susceptibility screening methodology with increased throughput, scalability, repeatability and decrease cost in comparison to the current benchmark assay. contracting the investment will be contracted on a grdc standard research agreement two party.
