Volunteering ACT

The ACT Government has set in motion a process reviewing the funding relationship between the Government and the ACT community sector, based on the spirit of The Compact.

Volunteering ACT believes it is very important that our member organisations, and others, are aware of the process and the consultation meetings that are being arranged.

From this page we provide access to various papers that have relevance to the process.

Discussion paper from ACT Council of Social Service Inc (ACTCOSS)

"In order to provide some initial analysis of the Government's Draft Policy, and to promote input from the sector for ACTCOSS's final submission to this review, we have produced a discussion paper on service funding."

We at Volunteering ACT invite our readers to respond to VACT with your comments or queries about the ACTCOSS discussion paper. Email: volact@volunteeract.com.au or phone 6251 4060 or fax 6251 4161
