From July 2021 the Workforce Innovation and Development Institute continues to partner in a very significant program of work with both government and the wider social service sector. Building on the collaborative success of the first five years of the Institute through a time of intense challenges, our work is now moving into a new phase, where positive impact can grow through a wider ecosystem of relationships and shared contributions. The reports shown below have been published by WIDI since July 2021.

The Future Social Service Institute (FSSI) was part of a a five-year partnership between RMIT University and the Victorian Council of Social Service, supported by the Victorian Government. FSSI was established with a grant from the Victorian Government, with co-investment from RMIT as part of the Keeping Our Sector Strong strategy (KOSS). In June 2021 the KOSS strategy came to an end, bringing the founding grant to a close, and VCOSS and RMIT have agreed to end the founding partnership. VCOSS and RMIT continue their long-term strategic friendship, sharing knowledge and perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the Victorian community. The following reports were published during the FSSI partnership.
