The Australian Government is looking at ways of developing a stronger relationship with Australia's Third Sector through a national compact. This is part of its social inclusion program and a second stage of consultations began on the 3rd of August this year. An online forum has also been started as part of the consultation process.

You can participate in the online forum at www.socialinclusion.gov.au/forums

The consultation paper and consultation toolkit are available from the website.

We will also be sharing our response to the compact with our members and those in volunteering information and support network.
