ACS SA & NT Strategic Focus

Background

ACS SA & NT’s (ACS) Strategic Plan provides ACS members, staff and supporters with a clear sense of direction in working towards the future. This Strategic Plan sets out ACS’ key result areas and goals, and the strategies to direct, monitor and assess ACS’ development. All ACS stakeholders are provided with an opportunity to understand and be involved with the vision for the future.

In February 2009, ACS Board and staff undertook a strategic planning process to explore the past, present and future of the aged and community care sector, and ACS’ role within that sector. Consultation with members, Board and staff identified the critical issues facing both the sector and the Association.  These issues have informed the direction and initiatives outlined in this Strategic Plan.

 

Ten-Year Vision (2009–2019) for Aged and Community Care

ACS envisions a future for aged and community care in SA and NT where aged and community care services, systems and providers operate collaboratively (where appropriate) so that service provision is person-centred, access to services is simplified, individual choice is encouraged and service delivery is sustainable and seamless. Excellence in all facets of the future will be the underlying premise.
