Shared and Collaborative Arrangements
The aim of the Shared and Collaborative Arrangements initiative is to create opportunities for NGOs to form partnerships and share resources so that, together, they can build their capacity to provide community and disability services. For example, a group of NGOs could share office space, staff, vehicles, payroll and purchasing services; workplace health and safety programs; or a common client assessment process.
Multi-Tenant Service Centres pilot
Multi-tenant service centres are being established in Mackay, Toowoomba and Caboolture to evaluate the benefits of organisations co-locating to share administration and infrastructure and integrate their service delivery.
Rural Multi-Tenant Service Centres are being established as part of the Queensland Government's Blueprint for the Bush in Charters Towers, Burdekin, Dalby and Lockhart River.
Who does the Shared and Collaborative Arrangements initiative apply to?
Currently, the Multi-Tenant Service Centres pilot applies to the NGOs involved in the pilot in each centre. Each group is being led by an NGO receiving recurrent funding from the Department of Communities or Disability Services Queensland.
