Strategic Business Objectives

1. Cement our position as a leading provider of frontline community-led health services in partnership with other agencies, and lead the field in service innovation
2. Establish a broader mix of income sources – increasing self-generated revenue winning public sector contracts and reducing reliance on public sector grants
3. Develop a robust costing and pricing structure based on a full cost recovery model to generate greater profit for social benefit
4. Maintain maximum business flexibility - learning and changing rapidly in response to the needs of communities and the volatile third sector operating environment
5. Build, support and maintain a core group of staff with the skills, knowledge and enthusiasm to achieve our wider objectives; and retain a competent and effective board of directors
