This includes developing working relationships with other concerned organisations to provide an effective forum for advocacy and action.The Consortium liaises with government and other stakeholders to keep them informed of the views of its members. The Consortium also provides a centralised referral system for the media and other practitioners through which it can refer those dealing with specific aspects of the sector to the organisations and individuals most qualified to assist.For more information and to read CoRMSA's highly informative monthly newsletter please visit their website www.cormsa.org.za
