SupportLink
The SupportLink Referral Management Service was first trialled by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) at Tuggeranong Police Station in 1997, in an effort to build stronger referral pathways between police and external agencies to improve partnerships and early intervention outcomes.
Since this time, the partnership has grown from strength to strength. ACT Policing use SupportLink to refer individuals and families seeking support and assistance for a wide range of issues to local service providers, as well as notifications and reports to local Government organisations, including (but not limited to):
- Abandoned vehicles
