The Ismaع
Reference Group

The Ismaع project was advised by a reference group of 17 people,
which included representatives from government agencies and religious
and community organisations from across Australia.

The role of the reference group was to provide support and

objectives, the scope and conduct of community consultations and the project's
findings and recommendations.
