The Expressions of Interest has now closed.
A decision on final appointment will be announced in December 2023.
The community services sector is a key partner with Government in the delivery of services to the Western Australian community, and a significant contributor to economic growth, employment and wellbeing, particularly for vulnerable Western Australians.
The Government is committed to working with the community services sector to maximise opportunities to deliver quality services to the Western Australian community. A key element of this commitment is the establishment of the Supporting Communities Forum which comprises membership drawn from both government and the non-government sectors, reflecting the diversity of the sectors and the Western Australian community to which services are provided.
Priorities for the Forum in 2024 – 2025 will build on the work of the current Forum with a focus on achieving a cohesive, holistic, and sustainable community services system to deliver better services to all Western Australians. The current Forum’s Terms of Reference may be amended for the new two-year term of the Forum, to reflect the priorities identified for the new Forum.
Expressions of Interest are sought for community services and academic membership of the Supporting Communities Forum for 2024 – 2025, including a Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson, and 14 members drawn from the community services and academic sectors. All appointments will be for a two-year term.
More information about the Forum, including its function and operation to date is available on the Forum’s webpage.
