WESTIR DSS Issues Paper Response – November 2023

WESTIR response to the Department of Social Services Issues Paper ‘A stronger more diverse and independent, community sector’ Nov 2023

As part of the Australian Government’s election commitment for a stronger, more diverse and independent community sector, the Department of Social Services is exploring opportunities to better support Australian communities through the design and administration of grants to the sector, including more meaningful working partnerships and options for greater innovation. This issues paper aims to reflect what the department has already heard from community sector organisations about current challenges and ideas for how the Australian Government could support a stronger, more diverse and independent community sector.
