Ms Mary Cunningham:

The answer to those questions is "Yes". In recent years, there have been many examples of where organisations have worked collaboratively. The National Youth Council as a representative body would be encouraging and supporting our member organisations to work collaboratively, both with us and with each other, recognising that we are stronger together.

On the Senator's point about competing for resources, it is a very competitive funding environment, so the answer to that is "Yes". The youth information one is a specific project that I think it is worth Ms Keane speaking on it with regard to how the organisations work together to jointly deliver the youth information service.
