Structure & Activities

Prioritising the equal participation of government, not-for-profit, business and community organisations and individuals.

Leadership Group

The leadership group has primary responsibility for, and oversight of, IF’s activities. With a membership of 35, the group meets six times annually to share information and set strategies.

The leadership group has oversight of the IF brokerage fund. This fund is used to supplement existing funding of participating agencies, where they can demonstrate that such funding will lead to improved outcomes in the activity focus areas identified by the Leadership Group. The Leadership Group is chaired by a not-for-profit member, St Patrick’s Community Support Centre.
