Western Australia's Department for Child Protection (DCP) has entered in a support services contract with Fujitsu, in a deal worth AU$10 million.

The contract will last over a five year time frame and comes on the back of other DCP IT contracts.

Fujitsu will be tasked with providing support to the DCP’s CRM system, which helps to coordinate a network of social workers across the state.

Fujitsu successfully bid for the contract based on their expertise in providing large scale specific support. DCP Executive Director for Metropolitan Services in Western Australia Cheryl Barnett said: “Our staff require a high level of skill, commitment and resilience."
