The Complex Needs Assessment Panel (CNAP) function is to address identified issues and barriers by planning, implementing and reviewing the strategies and interventions required to support at-risk children, young people and their families in working towards improved health and wellbeing. This is achieved by addressing issues and barriers the child/young person is facing through a flexible approach to case planning and the implementation of ongoing holistic interventions. Each CNAP has its own referral process and referring criteria. As this program is a co-case management model, the referring agency remains engaged with the CNAP and provision of client support throughout the referral, service delivery and care coordination process.
The CNAP brings government and non-government organisations together in partnership to provide a coordinated approach when assessing the needs of, and developing care plans for, clients with complex needs.
CNAP recognises the complex nature of the client needs and that one agency alone cannot provide all the services needed.
The model does not replace existing service delivery methods nor place more responsibility on one service but brings together key decision makers in government and non-government organisations to provide a coordinated approach when assessing and planning for the needs of the child/young person. They aim to provide a mechanism for closer working partnerships, improved communication and a system to monitor and evaluate this collaboration.
The panels’ function also involves advocating within members’ organisations, networks and sectors to ensure the effectiveness of collaborative partnerships.
Members of the panel are required to have decision making ability within their respective organisations enabling a more effective and clearer pathway for recommendations made through the panel process.
The geographical location for eligibility to this program is Gold Coast and Beenleigh. This program is not a self-referral program and referrals must be submitted by an organisation.
The CNAP for Young People’s function is to address identified issues and barriers by planning, implementing and reviewing the strategies and interventions required to support at-risk children, young people and their families in working towards improved health and wellbeing.
This might involve providing input where needed, being actively involved in the development of a case plan and agreeing to work with the Gold Coast – Beenleigh Area Panels towards the case plan goals.
A child unborn to 18 years of age (should a young person reach 18 years of age, panel support can continue for a further 6 months on the condition that the referring agency remains involved; interventions during this period will focus on transitioning to adult care and support)

The Complex Needs Assessment Panel 65+ works with older adults aged 65+ years with mental illness and complex needs. CNAP65+ aims to assist coordination of appropriate care and services and support older people and their families to remain independent in the community.
The referred older person must consent to their information being presented to the panel. At the panel, service providers will meet to share resources and information about services and make suggestions that could assist the older person. Participation of the older person and their families is welcomed.
After the panel meeting, the referring service provider gives feedback to the older person and their family about options available to them. The older person and the family maintain control of any recommendations or options suggested by the panel.
