Partnering the Community - Our Mutual Agreement: the Advancing the Community Together (ACT) Partnership
A revised, revitalised ACT Partnership has been forged between the volunteer community and the South Australian Government!
The Advancing the Community Together Partnership (ACT Partnership) — (302 kb PDF) represents a public commitment by the South Australian Government and the volunteer community to open, transparent, consistent and collaborative ways of working together.
A strong, vibrant and innovative not-for-profit community is essential to achieving a productive and inclusive society.
The ACT Partnership between the South Australian Government and the volunteer community was renewed by the Premier of South Australia, Hon Jay Weatherill at the State Volunteer Congress on Monday 5 December 2011.
This partnership is designed to:
- Acknowledge the value of volunteering in our community
- Develop a vision for the future of volunteering in South Australia
- Establish a framework for an ongoing partnership, and
- Promote and facilitate volunteering in a manner that benefits the community.
The Office for Volunteers, now within the Department of Communities & Social Inclusion, has oversight of the ACT Partnership.
Become a Partner!
Now all organisations in the not-for-profit sector can show their support for building a better relationship between government and the volunteer community by signing up to the ACT Partnership!
Sign up is free and voluntary. Increasing the number of organisations signed up as ACT Partners gives weight to the shared aspirations and principles of the Partnership and can help drive the identified priorities for action.
The implementation of the ACT Partnership is an important part of the Dept of Communities & Social Inclusion agenda which is a whole-of-government approach to providing opportunities for all South Australians to participate in the life of the State.
