Northern Sydney Aboriginal Social Plan

What Remains to be Done?
While some areas show improvements, a number
of recommendations from the Northern Sydney
Aboriginal Social Plan 2000-2004 remain largely
unfulfi lled. Their future implementation relies heavily
on other agencies. Outstanding issues include:
• Ensuring provision of affordable housing options
in the Northern Sydney region for Aboriginal
people
• Provision of counselling support for Aboriginal
people affected by the Stolen Generations and
other mental health issues
• Development of a high level of service
coordination to address the issues of the
Northern Sydney Aboriginal community
• The adequate resourcing of the Aboriginal
Project Offi cer position. Due to the size
of the region, the role of coordination and
implementation has been extremely demanding
for an individual, part-time worker.
