The RWA
conducted a consultation about a proposed Human Services Plan (HSP) for Redfern
Waterloo until Friday November 11 2005. Following the close of submissions the
RWA Staff, Ministerial Advisory Committee for Human Services (MACHS) and Human
Services CEO’s Group are to meet and go over any changes to the DHSP before it
goes to NSW Cabinet (targeted for 22nd November).
Even though the period for consultation has now past we are told that the Plan
and how it is implemented will be subject to input and review. So please share
your comments and with us as well as passing them on to the RWA.
The DHSP consultation was based
around people making their comments directly to the RWA and the RWA deciding
what then needs to be changed in the Plan. REDWatch thinks it is also important
that people share their comments, draft submissions and concerns within the
community so others are aware of the issues being raised and can also make
their comments on these matters. This page has been set up to allow people to
post comments regarding the RWA’s HSP and its implementation.
