Eastern Regional Coordinators (ERC)
What is the ERC?
Founded in 2014, the ERC group aims to:
- Bring together the area coordinators whose role it is to promote and facilitate service coordination across the region.
- Reduce duplication of effort in providing navigation tools for the various sectors when the cohorts accessing services are largely similar.
- Support integration across sectors with workforce development, role modelling, promoting collaborative practice and training.
- Share relevant data and information across health and community service sectors.
- Seek opportunities to strengthen partnerships, links, responses and referral protocols.
The coordination function of this group currently sits with the Principle Strategic Advisor for the Eastern Regional Family Violence Partnership.
