Our commitment to partnership and collaboration with the community services sector is based on sharing a common objective - achieving the best possible outcomes for Victorian families and individuals from the provision of our services.
This objective is underpinned by a common view of the value of partnering as a means of achieving positive community change, articulated in the Partnership in Practice Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the independent health, housing and community sector, 2009 - 2012, see 'Human Services and Health Partnership - DHHS' on the Victorian Council of Social Service (VCOSS) website.
Partnership and collaboration principles have guided the working relationship between us and the community services sector since 2002.
