National Community Services Information Management Group - NCSIMG
The National Community Services Information Management Group (NCSIMG) is a sub-committee of the Community Services Ministers' Advisory Council (CSMAC). NCSIMG was established by, and to manage the operations of, the National Community Services Information Agreement (NCSIA).
The Management Group is responsible for the overall management of the NCSIA and the Work Program. The NCSIA is a multilateral agreement between government community services and statistical agencies and provides the framework for a cooperative approach to national community service information development. The Agreement, by facilitating more reliable, timely and consistent national information, will contribute to the efficient provision of more appropriate and improved services and outcomes for the Australian community.
The NCSIMG has 2 standing sub-committees:
- National Community Services Data Committee (NCSDC)
- National Child Protection and Support Services Data Working Group (NCPASS)
For further information on NCSIMG governance arrangements please refer to the Business Rules.
