Government Support for Social Inclusion

Vision

The vision of the Australian government when it comes to social inclusion is a society which is socially inclusive wherein every Australian feels equally valued because they each have the opportunity to join and participate in the different aspects of society. To achieve this vision, every Australian must have the opportunity, resources and capability to the different parts of the society and community. This includes education and training, employment, family care, community resources, and has a voice and stand in the community.

Australian Social Inclusion Board

The Australian Social Inclusion Board was created especially for the disadvantaged people of Australia. This way, they can be able to get support from the government so that they can participate in the society. The board was established back in May 2008. The board teams up with different organizations, communities, businesses, academies, groups, government agencies and other sectors of the society to connect and create a better policy among the society and the disadvantaged people. This way, the vision for social inclusion in Australia can be achieved. Every four years, the board will have a meeting and address the problems that are facing social inclusion. The board recently had a meeting on June 2011. They can be contacted through the Social Inclusion Unit Board Secretariat at the Department of the Prime Minister.

Social Inclusion Unit

The Social Inclusion Unit of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet coordinates the support of the government to achieving social inclusion as a whole. The unit aims to instill into the different agencies and their jurisdiction the different kinds of social inclusion approaches through shared understanding, cooperation and other efforts. The unit also gives advice and suggestions to the Minister for Social Inclusion. The unit will also make the right analysis and research regarding the social inclusion in the society. This unit also helps the Australian Social Inclusion Board by providing them with secretariat support. This means, they advice the board on programs and policies that the government must have and implement so that social inclusion can be promoted and developed.
