The Cross Agency Team

The Cross Agency Team was created to help us respond to emerging whole-of-government, multi-agency or across office issues — particularly those that affect some of the more vulnerable sections of the community.

Increasingly, our work involves issues that cross more than one of our traditional jurisdictions. This partly reflects the business of government, which is increasingly focused on promoting interagency approaches to service delivery.

The Cross Agency Team’s main functions are to:

• direct, coordinate and manage the work of our Aboriginal Unit and Youth Liaison Officer
• provide advice and information to staff about significant Aboriginal and youth issues and initiatives
• undertake major investigations into issues that cross a number of agencies
• develop expertise in relation to whole-of-government initiatives in relevant areas, and provide ongoing advice to divisions about significant issues and progress in these areas
