Network and Interagency meetings are an important way for Government and non-Government organizations and community groups who work for the community to come together to share information about the service provision and includes programs, projects and activities they are engaged in. Meetings also assist to identify any common themes or issues that are presenting in the Brisbane South West Neighbouring Communities and ensure that workers are able to deliver services that are responsive and effectively support and represent these communities.
