The NFP Sector is one of the most trusted national voices and networks in Australia. We employ millions of people. We contribute signifcantly to the country's social and economic wellbeing. We are amongst the first responders to crises and disasters. We are at the heart of civil society. So yesterday, ACOSS was incredibly proud to see The National NFP Blueprint published, after being officially handed to the Federal Government. This is an independent, non-partisan, ten-year reform roadmap that has been developed by, for and with the NFP Sector. Over two years, the Blueprint Expert Reference Group (BERG) convened to determine the best set of priorities to ensure we have a strong, thriving and sustainable Sector over the next decade. The Blueprint contains 18 key initiatives, organised across three strategic pillars: - Pillar One: An enabling operational and regulatory environment for the NFP sector to thrive; - Pillar Two: A people-led and purpose driven NFP Sector; and - Pillar Three: An adaptive and dynamic forward-focused NFP Sector. We now enter the next phase of this important work - securing wider parliamentary support for this roadmap, and co-designing implementation with government.
