member agencies that provide community information and support
services to their local communities throughout Victoria.
CIVic is committed to assist the member agencies in providing a
community information and support service that is free,
confidential, impartial, and independent, and respects the rights
of individuals and groups to make decisions for themselves.
CIVic provides assistance to the membership in relation to
community information, advocacy, policy and program development,
research and consultation, development and support of the
membership.
Aims:
To support the membership in providing services and programs that
meet the Standards and Policies of the Association.
The aims of CIVic are achieved by implementing the objectives as
set out in the Business Management Plan.
Summary
CIVic respects the rights of the member agencies to decide on the
services they will provide, and the diversity of models evolving,
as they meet their communities' needs.
CIVic ensures that member agencies use trained Community
Information Workers to provide access to community information and
support services for their local communities.
CIVic focuses on increasing the capability of agencies, to make
them more independent and increasingly supported by their local
communities, and other agencies.
Agencies need to be provided with support to utilise specialist
Peak Bodies. Each agency and each community in which they operate
has differing, often unique, and frequently changing needs.
