Our Commitment

Based on work being piloted by the Commonwealth Government, we will continue to work with our Federal colleagues to help support the use of the tool kits to assist South Australian councils to coordinate and promote primary prevention initiatives in their local communities.

What have we achieved

As part of its strong partnership with the Australian Government, the State Government has assisted in the completion of the tool kits and is now working with councils regarding their roll out.

What is next

The State Government will continue to show leadership in this community roll out, and has encouraged State Government staff to particpate with the Local Government Youth Development Network.

What difference will we make

Local Governments are often closest to their local commuinities and this important work, in partnership with the Australian Government, promotes primary prevention initiatives.
