SUMMARY:Emerging Issues Forum 2025
DESCRIPTION:Our annual Emerging Issues Forum offers a valuable opportunity to explore current and significant trends that will affect the sector. It serves as a space for reflection on the changing landscape and supports forward-thinking planning. \nJoin us as we examine the emerging challenges and developments\, focusing on the following key areas: \nHarmful Sexualised Behaviours \nSpeaker: Michael Salter – Director\, Childlight East Asia & Pacific Hub\, UNSW \nSchools and frontline services are reporting a concerning increase in harmful sexual behaviours among young people and rising rates of peer-on-peer abuse – linked to access to harmful content online. Michael Salter has been working on these issues for many years with his recent work identifying that 1 in 10 Australian men admit offending against children\, and 1 in 6 admit having sexual thoughts about children and would offend if they knew they wouldn’t get caught. What more can the sector be doing to address this growing challenge? \n  \nSpeaker: Nicole Lambert – CEO\, Allambee Counselling \nAllambee Counselling in Mandurah are one of two frontline WA services currently developing and delivering specialised counselling services and support to young people experiencing the impacts of harmful sexual behaviours as part of a service pilot funded by the Department of Communities and evaluated by the Australian Centre for Child Protection. The program seeks to develop evidence-based therapeutic responses to children and young people displaying HSB\, and to implement and extend the WA Framework for Understanding and Guiding Responses to Harmful Sexual Behaviours. \nMarket Failures \nSpeaker: Professor David Gilchrist – Director\, UWA Centre for Public Value \nDavid is well-known to community services in WA for his work on the sustainability of community services and his insights into the sector landscape. In this session he reflects on the issues arising due to the competitive tendering strategies taken by Federal and State governments and the ‘marketisation’ of services in aged care\, childcare and the NDIS. What is the best way to ensure public services are efficient and effective in delivering quality outcomes and value for money? Is competition the best driver – or should we be focusing instead on collaborative commissioning strategies to develop more effective place-based systems? What does a better future look like for our community … and the services that support them? \nProductivity with Purpose \nSpeaker: Toby Phillips\, Economic Director\, Centre for Policy Development \nProductivity with Purpose is a report from the Centre for Policy Development that lays out practical reforms for tying productivity to outcomes that Australians value: time with our families and friends\, better health\, stronger connections with our communities\, and more leisure time. \nLike many measures of economic growth\, productivity is often treated as a means to improve living standards. But unless we deliberately make that the goal\, those benefits don’t automatically follow. \nIf we do not connect productivity to purpose\, we risk pursuing productivity in a way that worsens the overlapping crises we face as a society: climate breakdown\, inequality and housing shortages. But if done right\, we can channel productivity into the things people truly value\, such as time with our families and friends\, better health\, stronger connections with our communities\, and more leisure time. \n  \nThis is a free webinar for WACOSS members but is open for anyone to join.\nCost for non-members is $40 per person (paid during checkout). \nBecome a member from as little as $15 per year and get access to critical sector events and news. \nRegister now by clicking the ‘Register’ button. This webinar will be held online via Zoom – the Zoom link to access the webinar will be provided in the registration confirmation email immediately after registering.

SUMMARY:Innovating Together: Leaving No One Behind
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 WACOSS Conference is a cornerstone event and comes as a timely reflection of the ongoing evolution of the community services sector in Western Australia.\nIn the midst of a dual cost-of-living and housing crisis\, our services are in demand more than ever. While we have lived through challenging times\, we are now addressing critical aspects of the sector’s future and are looking at ways to advance excellence and better support the community. \nAt the forefront of these discussions\, is the central theme to our Conference\, Innovating Together\, Leaving No One Behind. A timely reflection of the ongoing evolution of our sector. \nWe are seeing emerging technologies that have transformative potential\, with their advantages and their implications\, there are opportunities to harness emergent technologies to address systemic inequalities and capitalise on their benefits\, for enhanced service delivery and operational efficiency. When we explore what these technologies look like\, we can identify the opportunities and the challenges\, and how they can be effectively integrated to better improve the lives of everyone. \nService design and delivery centres the exploration of new frontiers in how services are being conceived\, funded\, and delivered. Innovative practices can lead to significant impact and lead to greater inclusion\, but the key is to seek innovative approaches\, and practical examples of innovation. \nWellbeing measurement is a much broader way of capturing societal impact\, that can help us shape effective policy and governance. Measuring what matters helps guide more informed policy and investment decisions\, so that services are delivering programs with funding that is directed towards the outcomes that truly impact the wellbeing for everyone. \nServices need to innovate\, but not for just for innovation’s sake. It is central to the sustainability\, efficiency and the intrinsic wellbeing of the people the community services sector support every single day. \nNow is the time for innovation. Now is the time to leave no one behind. \nThe event will take place over three days. \nMonday 12 May will mark the first day of the Conference\, a half-day event we are currently working on in partnership with the Council of Aboriginal Services Western Australia\, the recently formed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled peak body. \nIn the evening of Monday 12 May\, we will party into the night\, celebrating the sector at the Community Services Excellence Awards. \nDays two and three\, Tuesday and Wednesday\, will feature keynote speakers\, workshops\, presentations and panel speakers\, and we are locking in some incredibly talented local and international speakers. \n  \nNominations for the Community Services Excellence Awards are now open\, and you can nominate someone for their outstanding contribution to the sector and communities. Nominate here.  \nRegistrations will open in early December. A registration for the Conference is the perfect Christmas gift to get your staff and show your appreciation for them!
