The not-for-profit sector makes a large and vital contribution in Australia, both economically and in terms of building and supporting communities. The Australian Government also relies on the sector for delivering a significant proportion of government funded programs and services.
As is outlined in the Blueprint for Reform of Australian Government Administration, achieving citizen centred service delivery and responding to growing community expectations requires the Australian Government to improve the way we work with the not-for-profit sector. Collaboration and cooperation with community organisations is essential. The task now is to refine and enhance our models for working together; the National Compact is a vital step towards that goal.
