PERFORMANCE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OUTCOMES<br />

Strategy:<br />

Ensure the Department strives to engage and be responsive to community in<br />

developing corrective solutions<br />

The Interagency Engagement Activity Day<br />

Anticipating that additional people would be in town following the Alice Springs Show, NT Police<br />

in collaboration with other government and non-government agencies organised a community<br />

engagement event. The Interagency Engagement Activity Day took place on 6 July <strong>2015</strong>, and<br />

drew tourists and locals to meet with staff and view stalls hosted by the Australian Government<br />

Department of Human Services, St John Ambulance, Alice Springs Women’s Shelter, Central<br />

Australian Aboriginal Congress, Tangentyere Council, NT Police, NTDCS and other departments.<br />

The event aimed to raise awareness within the community about the services available within<br />

Alice Springs and remote communities, inform stakeholders about new initiatives and generally<br />

engage with community members.<br />

Utilising NTDCS’s show trailer, staff from Community Corrections represented the Department:<br />

Sharon Hayes (CPPO – Alice Springs), Marion Walker (Team Leader – Alice Springs), Tony Bohning<br />

(CPPO – Alice Springs) and Felicia Richards (Project Officer – Darwin Head Office), setting up<br />

displays and managing the stall.<br />

The event was a big success, allowing staff working within the same space with the same clients<br />

to meet one another, share ideas and provide updates from their respective agencies as well as<br />

providing an opportunity for clients and other members of the public to access information about<br />

services.<br />
