Partnership Forum
The mission of the Partnership Forum is to bring together leaders from State Government agencies and the not-for-profit community sector to improve outcomes for all Western Australians through a genuine partnership in the policy, planning and delivery of community services in Western Australia.
The Partnership Forum is working to fundamentally change the relationship between the public sector and the not-for-profit community sector. The goal is to create a strong and genuine partnership built on respect and a shared responsibility for building a better society for all Western Australians.
The Partnership Forum comprises State Government agency CEOs and senior not-for-profit community sector representatives.
The Partnership Forum has developed a set of principles and behaviours to govern and facilitate the Government and not-for-profit community sector partnership in the policy, planning and delivery of community services in Western Australia. Some of the important elements of the partnership are a collaborative approach, interdependence, mutual respect, trust and recognising the value and contribution of both sectors.
The Partnership Forum Strategic Directions 2012 document includes information on the Partnership Principles and Behaviours and outlines the Partnership Forum's key directions for 2012.
Further information can be found in the Partnership Forum's communiqués, newsletters and fact sheets.
