The Northern Territory’s peak representative body for  those  affected by poverty and disadvantage says it was disappointed that the Northern Territory’s Budget failed to prioritise those who need help the  most.

The Northern Territory Council of Social Service (NTCOSS) says the previous mini budget slashed support services for children most at risk in the NT and This budget has done nothing to fix that.

Wendy Morton, Executive Director of NTCOSS says the  Giles  Government’s  commitment  to redirect Office of Children and Families money to frontline services does not address the massive need to increase investment in this area or any indication that this will include NGO’s.

Ms Morton said ‘Non-government organisations in the Territory are working on the frontline with the most vulnerable and at risk children, young people and families….and   It is difficult to understand how the budget recognises the massive unmet need in our community or the valuable work of the NGO sector.’
