Membership

The Human Services Advisory Committee has members from government (local, state and federal) and six members chosen by the Minister to represent the community. It also has a representative from NCOSS. The HSMAC is chaired by the CEO of the RWA.

The RWA only makes available on its website the details of the community representatives of its Ministerial Advisory Committees. The full list is made available retrospectively in the RWA Annual Report. The Membership list below has been constructed from the RWA Annual Report and where we are aware of changes from other sources the list has been altered. REDWatch hence can not guarantee that  the Government representatives listed below are currently those representing their Departments.
