Emerging trends, Opportunities and Challenges for community service organisations: The Victorian Government agenda for vulnerable children and their families

Broad overview of the reforms… Comprehensive and strategic Whole-of-government objectives are ambitious and forward-thinking There are subtle and not-so-subtle potential game-changers Overall good management of the tension between being prescriptive and enabling Cross over with reform agendas in other sectors: community mental health, housing, drug and alcohol etc.

The Government/Community Services relationship… “…this strategic relationship needs to be long term and based on an explicit understanding of the respective and different responsibilities and roles of government and the community sector” (PVVC 2012, p. 435) Strategic collaboration…

How can we understand the agenda... Governance monitoring & accountability Establishing and strengthening Performance framework Governance monitoring accountability Accountability systems Training, support and development Development of Services Population-based approaches Area-based approaches Responses to our most vulnerable Integrated service provision Child centred family focus Collaborative approaches Legal Responses

Capacity of Community Service Organisations “ a... more pro-active role” for Government aimed at improving the overall structure and capacity of CSOs (Cummins et al. 2012, 441). 3 elements of capacity identified Governance Quality: able to evidence outcomes Financial viability in community service organisations

Accountability and Transparency Strengthening data collection Enhancing IT effectiveness Collecting data to inform improvements and changes Outcomes evidence: capacity to engage in research Performance measures and indicators Evidence of greater participation in services Build capacity to demonstrate links between services and with other providers –collaboration at the local level Accountability systems Registration, Department of Human Services Standards: external audits Review: Children’s Commissioner new regulatory functions ACNC: legislation for Australian Government registration and governance review of CSOs expected by December 2012

Collaborative and integrated practice across service systems- ‘no wrong door’

Opportunities and challenges? We have a chance to… Reinforce whole-of-government responses Change the way we do business through child, family & community focus Start measuring things that matter to children and communities Develop better accountability and monitoring frameworks Develop better understandings of real cost and need Build a workforce and organisational capacity and capability through training and system clarification The challenge is to decide where to invest limited resources … and to work out smart ways of maximizing the investment Change the lives of vulnerable children and families
