Pacific Vacancies Announcement No. 2025/35 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Consultant*s Terms of Reference for Pacific Helpline Opportunities for Learning Exchange [please find TORs attached] 1. Organisational context ChildFund Australia is an independent international development organisation that works to reduce poverty for children in developing communities. We partner to create community and systems change which enables children and young people in vulnerable situations, to assert and realise their rights. At ChildFund Australia, we want every child and young person to be able to say: ※I am safe. I am educated. I contribute. I have a future.§ At ChildFund Australia we implement programs with a range of local partners in Solomon Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam. We also manage projects delivered by partner organisations throughout Asia, Africa, and the Americas. ChildFund Australia is a member of the ChildFund Alliance 每 a global network of 11 organisations that assists almost 23 million children and their families in 70 countries. ChildFund Australia is a registered charity, a member of the Australian Council for International Development, and fully accredited by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade which manages the Australian Government*s overseas aid program. 2. Background The ※Strengthening Crisis Response Services for Women, Children, and Youth in the Solomon Islands§ project is a three-year partnership between Seif Ples, ChildFund Australia and ChildFund New Zealand which commenced in November 2022. The project was co-developed by Seif Ples, ChildFund Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand. Seif Ples is a gender-based violence (GBV) crisis and referral centre in the Solomon Islands, which is implemented through a partnership between the Ministry of Police, National Security and Correctional Services, Ministry of Health and Medical Services, Royal Solomon Islands Police Force and Honiara City Council Nursing Department. In line with the Family Protection Act 2014, Seif Ples was established to address the high prevalence of GBV and to support survivors of violence. Seif Ples promotes safety, protection and recovery of women and girls who have experienced violence. The Centre provides specialist clinical care and crisis counselling in one place, regardless of sex, disability, sexual preference, faith, and ethnicity. Seif Ples provides the national 132 SAFENET 24/7 helpline which currently can be accessed by children and adults throughout the Solomon Islands. The Solomon Islands and PNG face similar geographical and infrastructure challenges in reaching and supporting survivors in remote areas and provinces so there is a unique opportunity to facilitate sharing and learning exchanges. Therefore, a co-design process was established to share the lessons learned from the 1-Tok Helpim Lain in PNG, a national GBV helpline facilitated by ChildFund Papua New Guinea, with Seif Ples as they expand their services. Helpline staff from both services have reported benefits in this peer learning for their individual practice and for future service improvement. Overall, the project aims to achieve two outcomes: 1. Women, children and youth from urban, rural, and remote areas have the necessary information and networks to access holistic protection services. Output 1.1 Seif Ples Helpline access is expanded, particularly for survivors in rural and remote areas. 2. Seif Ples is equipped to deliver and sustain quality holistic crisis support services (helpline and face to face) to survivors of violence. Output 2.1 Seif Ples establishes operational policies, procedures, infrastructure and training to provide continuous, quality remote services (helpline) and face to face services (one stop shop) to survivors. Output 2.2 Seif Ples expands critical face to face support services provided to survivors. Output 2.3 Pacific helpline service providers share experiences and identify opportunitie
