Community

Our aim to support the development of social policies and services in the community means we are active in local, regional and peak body groups in the community services sector.

We have been a key player at a state level regarding provision of community information. At a local level we continue to be active in community groups, resourcing of new workers/agencies and contributing to research and program development.
