Dear All,

 

ACOSS will be holding a conference in Melbourne at the Sebel Albert Park on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th April 2008.  The theme is Taking steps for a fair go for all - social inclusion policies and processes.

 

The Conference will examine the roles of the community services and welfare sector, governments, corporates and philanthropic organisations in the emerging social inclusion agenda of Australia.  The Conference will also look at the meaning and scope of social inclusion and poverty.

 

The second day of the Conference will be a series of concurrent practical workshops in a number of specific areas, including Housing, Homelessness, Welfare/Participation, Education, Health, Disability, Early Childhood Development, Youth Transitions, Safe and Healthy Communities, and Indigenous Communities.  One of the outcomes of the workshops would be to identify medium and longer term targets in each specific area which would, if met, reduce social exclusion across a number of specific areas. The workshops will also identify who is excluded in each of these areas, the effects of this exclusion and the broad strategies which would help achieve social inclusion targets.

 

Please email conference at acoss.org.au to register for the conference or complete the attached form.

 

Many Thanks

 

Andrew Johnson
