Welcome to the Illawarra and South East Aboriginal Government Employees Network website
The I-SE AGEN brings together Aboriginal employees of the NSW Government who work in the Illawarra and South East Regions of NSW.
The aim of this group is to increase the support, networking, and opportunities for collaboration between Aboriginal workers in NSW Government agencies.
Background – how we were formed:
As part of its cross-agency commitment to enhance service delivery and community outcomes for Aboriginal communities, the Illawarra and South East Regional Co-ordination Management Group (I-SE RCMG) established an I-SE Indigenous Workers Forum (IWF) at Murramarang (near Bateman’s Bay) in November–December 2004.
The major outcome from the IWF meeting was the development of a framework for the establishment of the I-SE AGEN as an annual event, supported by a working group to operate in between the annual gatherings. The working group is known as the Cross Agency Working Party (CAWP). Members of CAWP are appointed each year by the AGEN Gathering.
The first I-SE AGEN gathering was held in September 2005 and involved about 70 Aboriginal employees.
What’s Happening now?
The CAWP is planning the next I-SE AGEN Gathering, to be held on the 23 and 24 September 2008. For more information about the 2008 Gathering click here.
