Sector building is about supporting a service system that reflects the community in which it operates. QCOSS is committed to working in partnership with the community services sector in Queensland to deliver innovative, sustainable and more targeted services to better respond to the needs of their communities – particularly in the rural and remote areas of Queensland.
We endeavour to use our knowledge, skills and resources to help build the capacity of community organisations to deliver on their vision and mission and ensure the experience and expertise of the sector is built into our shared policy and advocacy work.
The Human Services Quality Framework (HSQF) is a system for assessing and promoting improvement in the quality of human services delivery. We provide a range of direct sector supports.
The Quality Collaboration Network is a peer-led network for those involved in implementing the HSQF within their organisation. Monthly meetings provide an opportunity to share experiences, information and resources.
The Human Rights Act for Queensland was passed by state parliament in 2019. QCOSS continues to support organisations with the implementation of the Act with a range of resources, training and information.
Community Door is a comprehensive virtual gateway for community-managed organisations in Queensland to access key information to assist in all aspects of the operation of the service.
QCOSS partners with the Queensland Government to deliver workshops across the state to help community-based organisations respond effectively to funding applications for the SQW initiative.
