Out on their own, the Child Protection Peak moves towards its independence |
In January 2009, Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Protection Peak (QATSICPP) will be formally acknowledged as Queensland's independent, peak body representing the safety and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people.
Leading the development of policies and strategies, the peak body seeks to lead advocacy, lobbying and representation through effective partnerships and strategic collaboration.
QATSICPP Coordinator Dianne Harvey looks forward to the transition and sees it as a real opportunity to strengthen relationships with government agencies and build stronger relationships within the corporate and community sectors.
"Becoming an independent body is a very important step for us and a great opportunity to build relations with other non-government organisations. Having this framework and building these networks is a very important part of collaborative advocacy and reform" Dianne said.
Historically, QAIHC has undertaken a secretariat function for QATSICPP, supporting its establishment and the first steps in its journey to independence. Over the next 18 months, QATSICPP will be entering a period of change as its ties to QAIHC are reduced and its independence, achievements and position as the state-wide peak body is formally recognised and celebrated.
Stay tuned for updates and look out for the new corporate identity coming soon!
