Human Services and Health Partnership Implementation Committee
The Human Services and Health Partnership Implementation Committee (HSHPIC) was established in 2004.
Its role is to guide and implement commitments contained in a 2002 Partnership Agreement between the then Department of Human Services and the health, housing and community services sector. The purpose of this work is to promote consultation and engagement between the Victorian Government and funded community sector organisations.
VCOSS now co-chairs HSHPIC with the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing.
The work of HSHPIC focuses on:
- strengthening DFFH and community sector partnering to achieve effective and respectful relationships
- auspicing projects that improve business processes to reduce the regulatory burden on the community sector
- addressing strategic challenges facing the human services industry through partnering dialogues and shared action.
