This document sets out some comments on the issues currently facing the NFSA, with suggested steps that might be taken to address them. 

The comments have been prepared by the Canberra and Melbourne committees of the Friends, whose elected members and patrons are, in many ways, representative of the NFSA’s stakeholder base. They arise, in part, from the experience of Friends members during day to day contact with the NFSA, and in part from the Friends’ experience in advocacy work over recent years.   

The Friends plan to help in the implementation of these suggestions where they have the capacity to do so.
