Doing Social Inclusion

Approximately five per cent of Australians aged 15
years and over experience multiple disadvantages. This
has a significant impact on their ability to learn, secure
employment, have a voice and feel part of the community.
A national focus on social inclusion is critical to overcoming
this. This means a public service that develops policies,
programs and services with these most disadvantaged
groups in mind. This however, is much more easily said
than done. This practical workshop will provide public
servants working in both social policy and non-social policy
departments with advice on making social inclusion a
reality, from building the foundations to policy development;
it will leave you better placed to follow through on this
important agenda
