This is the State of the Sector 2015

Today NCOSS released the second State of the Sector report in collaboration with the Social Policy Research Centre from the University of NSW and the Department of Family and Community Services.

The report reveals a resilient, collaborative sector. A sector that places great importance in good governance, in the value for money it delivers. Our focus is first and foremost on delivering outcomes for people.

There are, however, challenges that we face. Our sector is changing and, with change comes new ways of working and often teething problems. The sector and government must constantly be assessing what works and what doesn’t and how we can do better.

NCOSS will be looking to start a conversation with the sector and with government in the near future about what good reform looks like, what a good working relationship looks like and shape a framework that ensures services can continue to deliver the best support possible for people experiencing poverty and disadvantage.
