Priority F4: Embedding the principle of prevention and early intervention into Government Service delivery in NSW

Prevention and early intervention initiatives can be applied by everyone in a range of situations - by government, businesses, not-for-profit organisations and individuals. Most individuals and communities have the capacity to help themselves by adopting prevention and early intervention approaches. Governments - Commonwealth, State and Local - have a role in guiding and facilitating change, and in providing support when it is needed.

To embed the principle of early intervention into the core workings of government we need to do two things:

  1. establish a sound prevention and early intervention policy framework to guide policy-makers, program designers and decision-makers

  2. shift resources to support prevention and early intervention within our Government agencies.

Target

Produce the policy framework for early intervention by the end of 2006/2007 and benchmark and set targets for agency performance by no later than 2008/2009.
