Community Inclusion
The Community Participation Branch of the Department of Sport and Recreation uses a ‘community development’ approach as a key strategy in its quest to enhance community inclusion.
While hard evidence is also a crucial ingredient, taking such an approach means being driven by the community and its needs, goals and aspirations. The focus is on low-participation groups, that is, those that are not adequately resourced to enable them to achieve participation rates equal or close to those of the total population. For example, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse, indigenous and people with disabilities.
Within the Community Participation Branch there are three Inclusion Officers who support communities, to develop inclusive sport and recreation environments.
The role of these Inclusion Officers includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Build relationships with Government and non-Government agencies through the facilitation of community based inclusive participation projects;
- Facilitate support to organisations and community groups to encourage greater participation in sport and recreation and to foster inclusive practices; and
- Develop appropriate resources that promote community participation in sport and recreation activities
