The 4ST Roadmap (2017-2021)

Celebrating Achievements

In 2017, we introduced the Social Service Sector Strategic Thrusts (4ST), a five-year roadmap co-developed by sector stakeholders, including NCSS, member organisations, service users, government, community leaders, business leaders and civic-minded individuals. This collaborative initiative was designed to ensure that our sector remains inclusive, responsive to future challenges and aligned with the evolving needs of our diverse population.

4ST strives to promote a person-centred and holistic approach to enhance the Quality of Life for all individuals.

Dive into the narratives of our journey in "Stories from the Heart".

“Every person empowered to live with dignity in a caring and inclusive society.”
