Background to RWA involvement in Human Services

The Premiers’
Department Redfern Waterloo Partnership Project (RWPP) requested Morgan &
Disney to undertake a review of human services in Redfern Waterloo. The review
was conducted in early to mid 2004.

Their
report was adopted by the NSW Government and the RWPP was to implement the
Morgan Disney recommendations in parallel with the RWA. A fact sheet was
produced by the RWA and the Morgan & Disney consultants returned in
December 2004 to explain their recommendations to service providers and the community.

In March
2005 the RWPP set up a Human Services Implementation Working Group (HSIWG) to
oversee the implementation of the recommendations initially in four cluster
areas. With the decision to absorb the RWPP into the RWA this group was made
the Minister’s Human Services Advisory Committee (HSAC)
