The integrated team will include professionals from AV and a host of other partner organisations, all working together to do better.

In other programs such as The Orange Door, Integrated and Collaborative teams have proven to be hugely effective in providing wrap around support and services to clients, as well as great support structures and ongoing learning for staff.
