The future?
•
•
•
•
Most not for profit organisations will remain service focussed but there will be
fewer organisations involved in collective action – peaks, social justice
advocacy etc
Workforce will become a significant moral dilemma for not for profits –
advocated for better wages but now needing to casualise workforce to stay in
the game
Ensuring all people have access to services and are included in society will
require a viable, healthy not for profit sector as
these changes are imbedded in our community
