Building stronger communities

three teenage girls

Strong communities are crucial to the wellbeing of families and individuals.

DoCS coordinates programs involving multiple government agencies and the non-government sector to support vulnerable people, address social problems, and keep young people connected with family and community.

These community development programs focus on strengthening families, engaging young people and reducing violence against women. DoCS works closely with non-government organisations, many of which receive funding to deliver services on behalf of the department.

A full list of organisations funded this year is available in the addendum.
