Submission: Strengthening Partnerships: Commissioning for Social Impact – Discussion Paper

This submission responds to the ACT Community Services Directorate’s ‘Strengthening partnerships: commissioning for social impact – discussion paper’. ACTCOSS strongly supports the development of a Commissioning for Social Impact Strategy as a whole-of-government framework that should assist in matching the intent of The Social Compact and other partnership arrangements between the ACT Government and community sector with practice. We particularly welcome the Discussion Paper’s commitment to commissioning that supports the ACT Community Services Industry Strategy 2016-2026.
