Families Australia have been engaged by the Department of Social Services to undertake the ‘Changing the Balance’ research project which explores the potential impact on non-indigenous Non-Government Organisations (NGOs).
They are hosting a series of sector consultation sessions to explore how non-Indigenous NGOs can best work collaboratively with First Nations organisations in supporting the growth and capacity of the ACCO sector.
The consultations will help to better understand the potential changes and impacts on non-Indigenous NGOs as sector funding profiles change to accommodate a shift in proportionate investment for child and family support services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs).
There are two sessions for NSW:
- Monday 22 April, Sydney Metro, 10:00am-12.30pm AEST (in person, includes morning tea), Sydney Masonic Centre. Click here for more details and to register
- Monday 22 April, NSW regional, ACT & Tasmania (online) 2:00pm – 4:00pm AEST. Click here for more details and to register
Part of the research project also includes a survey, which you can fill out here.
