Directory of Social Service Community Organisations in the Northern Territory OCTOBER 2016 Northern Territory Council of Social Service
Welcome to the 2016 edition of the Northern Territory Council of Social Service Directory of Social Service Community Organisations in the Northern Territory. We hope you find this a useful resource for your day-to-day work. NTCOSS is a peak body of the non-for-profit sector in the NT and an advocate for those who are most disadvantaged in our community. We do this in many different ways such as working with our member organisations to develop policy; advocacy to government; working with organisations to build their capacity to deliver effective services to their clients; and working with other peak bodies. You can also find an updated version of this Directory online at www.ntcoss.org.au If you would like to provide feedback on the directory or would like your organisation to become a member of NTCOSS, please contact us.
