The Board has endorsed the allocation of funds and staff over
a number of years to delivering services to support those most in
need such as Indigenous, refugees and migrants with minimal English,
and long term unemployed people, and is strongly committed to Jobs
Australia Midland working in partnership with others in the
community to alleviate disadvantage and poverty.
The current
Strategic Plan endorsed by the Board identifies their commitment to
increasing and enhancing the range of community services offered to
the most disadvantaged in our community; a commitment to invest in
