The Blue Mountains Community Interagency (BMCI) is a regular Forum attended by representatives from neighbourhood centres, family support services, community development projects, youth services, disability services, migrant services, children’s and child protection services, community housing and staff from Blue Mountains City Council,  Sydney West Area Health Services, Centrelink and employment services. BMCI is open to any stakeholder of the local community services sector. It is convened by the Mountains Community Resource Network.

The BMCI meets monthly. Members subscribe to an e-mail distribution list, through which they receive important updates and information relevant to our sector. The MCRN Website will have most of this information stored and easily accessible.

BMCI has guest-speakers on a regular basis, covering topics which are relevant and engaging for BMCI participants. BMCI also gives representative from other network meetings and interagencies the opportunity to feedback, thus BMCI becomes an ‘umbrella’ generalist Interagency and an invaluable information share and peer support forum.

Occasionally BMCI members will form working parties to fulfill tasks such as writing submissions towards official documents e.g. BMCC Plans of Management, governmental enquiries and consultations. Some working parties may work towards organising an event or preparing pre-election briefing papers and activities.
