Introduction from the Minister for Social Inclusion
Our community is full of great people who work hard to help others. The Government’s social inclusion agenda aims to build on this great asset as the foundation for a strong and fair community.
We can be proud of the things we are doing together and excited about what we can achieve going into the future.
Some of the best initiatives the government has introduced to the ACT community in recent years have come together through partnerships between government, community and the not-for-profit and private sectors. This kind of approach works to harness power of inclusion and diversity and overcoming some of the challenges we face and the 2016-17 Budget provides further support to these initiatives.
This statement shows the large range of investments the government is making across diverse portfolios to grow inclusion in our community – to give everyone the chance to contribute, to be valued and to have a good crack at happiness. Supporting fairness, equality and inclusion in our community remains a fundamental commitment of the government as we respond to those who experience social exclusion, unemployment, economic disadvantage or physical isolation.
