Intergovernmental Collaboration 

An important part of the Riverina JO’s work is seeking opportunities to work collaboratively with State agencies to progress shared priorities.

The Executive Officers of all the NSW JOs meet regularly with senior members of State agencies and particularly with staff from the Department of Premier and Cabinet to discuss initiatives, issues and ways in which we might work together.

On a more local level, the JO’s Interim Executive Officer, Julie Briggs participates in the NSW Department of Planning Industry and Environment’s quarterly Regional Leadership Executive meetings to discuss priorities within the Riverina-Murray region. In addition, Mrs Briggs regularly meets with other State agencies operating in the JO’s Region to discuss specific programs and issues. The JO is currently involved in the Empowering Communities initiative that is being delivered by the Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network.
