Regional network
The regional network, which is located in the Indigenous coordination centres (ICCs) across Australia, continued to focus on cross-government program delivery and identifying opportunities to participate in shared responsibility agreements under the Indigenous broadcasting, sport and recreation, language and arts and culture programs. This involved the monitoring of over 500 activities and participation in 23 shared responsibility agreements across these programs during the reporting period.
The network structure was regularly reviewed during the year as positions became vacant with the aim of strengthening the staffing structure and aligning the structure with the Department's program activity. The ongoing restructuring is allowing the Department to consolidate staffing resources in key ICCs which will facilitate improved service to its clients. Restructuring during the period included resources being transferred from Tamworth and Bourke to the Coffs Harbour ICC, and from South Hedland and Derby to the Broome ICC to service activities in the top end of Western Australia.
