Newcastle Interagency Network

The Newcastle Interagency Network has been established to support community sector staff. We do this in four ways:

By coordinating the quarterly Newcastle Interagency Network meeting, where specialist services have an opportunity to present their work, research findings and general service updates.
Secondly, we compile and distribute the Newcastle Interagency e-newsletter which shares information on community events, programs, forums and training opportunities. If you are a community organisation and would like to share your information please email us at [email protected]
Thirdly, CN provides My Community Directory and My Community Diary to allow services to register and promote their activities and events delivered locally.
Fourthly, CN provides free to the sector the id (informed decision) platform which includes Community Profile, Social Atlas and Population Forecast data. This assists services plan and understand demographic trends.

Interagency Meetings

Newcastle Interagency meets four times a year, two of these meetings are combined with Lake Macquarie Interagency (February and August), with the May and November meetings being stand alone.

At our last meeting for 2025 held at Fort Scratchley Function Centre we were fortunate to have great guest speakers including Michelle Faithfull from Home in Place, Hunter Homeless Connect, Charity Fund Raiser and former Newcastle Citizen of the Year.

Michelle spoke about "Refilling our cup" discussing ways to enhance our ability to look after ourselves whilst delivering services for others.

View Michelle's presentation and a word cloud of ideas from the group on how to manage wellbeing in the "Related links" box.
