The team was established to support DFFH divisions and DFFH funded Framework organisations, to understand their MARAMIS obligations and effectively embed them into practice. 

What has been acheived so far?

Working with DFFH divisions in partnership and co-creation to empower divisions to:  

  • Effectively incorporate the four MARAM Pillars into their policies, procedures, practice guidance and tools appropriate to their roles and functions and their place in the broader service system 
  • Understand their legislative requirements, policy and operational obligations as a FVISS and CISS Information Sharing Entity (ISE) 
  • Support their funded agencies to align to MARAM and provide guidance around their operation as FVISS and CISS ISEs 

What is happening now?

Delivered with Sector:

  • Intermediate level training for practitioners working within Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations
