Emerging Issues

As the peak body for the community services sector in Western Australia, WACOSS has a unique role to play in informing the sector of important emerging trends and issues affecting both services, and the people they serve.

Each year WACOSS hosts the Emerging Issues Seminar, providing a comprehensive overview of the most important issues confronting the community sector.

The seminar covers six key topic areas: economic, policy/political, social, environment, services, and service delivery.

Delivered by WACOSS senior staff and guest speakers, the Emerging Issues seminar provides detailed up-to-date information designed to assist organisations in planning for and responding to these critical issues.

The 2011 Emerging  Issues Seminar will be held on 1 April, for more information or to book your place please
