Background to RWA involvement in Human Services

The Premiers’ Department Redfern Waterloo Partnership Project (RWPP) requested Morgan & Disney to undertake a review of human services in Redfern Waterloo. The review was conducted in early to mid 2004.

Their report was adopted by the NSW Government and the RWPP was to implement the Morgan Disney recommendations in parallel with the RWA. A fact sheet was produced by the RWA and the Morgan & Disney consultants returned in December 2004 to explain their recommendations to service providers and the community.

In March 2005 the RWPP set up a Human Services Implementation Working Group (HSIWG) to oversee the implementation of the recommendations initially in four cluster areas. With the decision to absorb the RWPP into the RWA this group was made the Minister’s Human Services Advisory Committee (HSAC)
