Council, Regional NSW, and Aboriginal Affairs Join Forces for Inaugural Interagency Meeting

In a historic collaboration aimed at fostering unity and progress, Moree Plains Council, alongside Regional NSW and Aboriginal Affairs, convened the inaugural joint interagency meeting earlier today. The significance of the occasion was amplified by the alignment with two important national events: Close the Gap Day and Harmony Day.

Close the Gap Day, an initiative advocating for indigenous health equality by 2030, was observed in conjunction with Harmony Day, celebrating the rich cultural tapestry that defines Australia. The meeting served as a dual commitment, pledging support for indigenous health while embracing cultural diversity.

The gathering provided a platform for service providers to exchange achievements, and innovative strategies, and foster collaboration to effect positive change. Attendees were treated to a lineup of esteemed guest speakers, whose insights and experiences underscored the importance of collective action in advancing societal goals.

Alisa Akins, Community, Culture and Libraries Manager emphasised the importance of harmony in addressing social challenges. "Today's meeting exemplifies the power of collaboration. By coming together, we strengthen our efforts to create a more equitable and inclusive culture," she remarked.

The event highlighted the dedication of local service providers in driving transformative change within the community. Their unwavering commitment to excellence continues to yield remarkable outcomes, enriching the lives of residents across Moree Plains.

The outcome of today's meeting showcased the potential and effectiveness of unity in action. It signifies our readiness for change, our willingness to succeed in breaking down silos and committing to collaboration.
