Abstract
Renewed political interest in reducing government expenditure in social welfare has often influenced the balance of government and voluntary sector involvement in what is sometimes called a welfare ‘partnership’. Governments seek to extend their planning and monitoring role whilst encouraging voluntary organisations to expand their capacity to deliver services. Similar trends are signalled in the Queensland Government policy papers on family welfare legislation. The views of voluntary organisations provide an alternative perspective on the non-government sector and the notion of welfare ‘partnership’. These views are critical to public policy if government is serious about a viable pluralistic arrangement in the welfare field.
