SECNA lodges submission to the inquiry into the procurement practices of government agencies in NSW

Social Enterprise Australia has been working with the federal government on the Social Enterprise Development Initiative and we are excited to share that the opportunity for the social enterprise sector to have our say is here.

SECNA CEO Kylie Flament will be on of the speakers at the inaugural Social Impact in the Regions conference in Coffs Harbour from 6-8 September.

Building on conversations with and around the social enterprise sector, the Yunus Centre mapped a possible path forward to an Australian social enterprise strategy. Based on this, the Social Enterprise National Strategy (SENS) team is working on five things in the lead up to the Social Enterprise World Forum in Brisbane in September 2022.

The Social Enterprise National Strategy (SENS) project is entering its next phase of development: activation. With this comes changes to governance and an Executive Director.

The Social Enterprise Unconference was the first initiative in a series of ongoing activities designed to unite the sector in preparation for the Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF). The interest (almost 700 registrations!), engagement and enthusiasm is testament to the collaborative strength of the social enterprise sector and its hunger for a more cohesive ecosystem.

At SECNA our vision is to create a thriving social enterprise sector in NSW & ACT, but we know that’s not something we can achieve on our own. That’s why we’ve been collaborating as part of an Advisory Group working to develop a national social enterprise strategy for Australia. The advisory group has just released the first reports with a proposed pathway forward.
