News update
1st November – SHIP-VIC Update
An update is to be released to the SHIP VIC environment on 1st November after 5pm.
Changes to the referral form (Persons Page > Referrals Tab):
- Other persons (i.e., family or household members) can be associated with the referral


- The existing ‘Consent to send’ question will be relabelled to ‘Consent to send provided for all persons associated with referral’.

- On acceptance of an electronic referral, an optional ‘Referral Outcome’ question will be displayed. The Referral outcome question options are:
- Client contacted – services provided (short term support)
- Client contacted – services accepted (longer term support)
- Client contacted – services declined
- Client unable to be contacted

Once completed, the ‘Referral Outcome Date/Time’ is populated on the referral form.
The sending workgroup can view the response to this question.

- Both the sender and recipient workgroup can add comments to the referral form which allows two-way-messaging.

Changes to the Referral List Home Page > Referrals Tab:
- The ‘Status’ column in the Referral grid will display the ‘Reason declined’ or ‘Referral Outcome’ information if recorded on the referral.

- Advanced search functionality will be available via the ‘Show Search’ button. This allows searching on the following information in the referral:
- Referral ID
- Send Date
- Given Name
- Family Name

New fund Type available (Payment records):
A new fund type ‘Family Violence Crisis Brokerage (FVCB)’ will be available to select in Payment records. This fund type should now be used by all Family Violence services.
