Community partners

Our goal is for men to be recognised and valued for their role in raising families and building community.

Some men experience difficulty and stigma when accessing services for them and their families.

This project is a coordinated response to men specific work across Logan. Men's voices, experiences, history and beliefs are all valued, and will be used as a strength in building our communities.

This area of investment is delivered by our friends at Kingston East Neighbourhood Group.

A cultural community nest in Eagleby led and delivered by an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation.

The Nest facilitates relational collective leadership, offering services and programs that are responsive and inclusive, with strong partnerships and collaboration between services and community at the centre.

The experience of play is well recognised as a basic human right and an essential part of a child's development. Play affords important benefits for adults as well as children, both directly and indirectly.

Our goal is for Logan City to reflect the value of children with high-quality play options co-designed and co-created with children.

This area of investment is delivered by our friends at Australian Institute of Play.

Good research is not about reporting only favourable findings. Nor is it about looking for evidence that makes us feel good about the work we do. Rather, good research is about seeking truth. It’s about finding the most accurate and reliable and comprehensive evidence possible to guide our work.

Sometimes the evidence we find when evaluating the work we do is not what we expected. Sometimes the evidence might be the opposite of what we had hoped for. Rather than reject the evidence or reject our practices, we want to be able to use the evidence to guide change and improvements. Good research, then, provides an opportunity to learn, to try something different, and to make progress. Only then do we have insight into how we can make improvements and adjustments to our practices for the benefit of everyone.

This area of investment is delivered collaboratively by our friends Wendy Gunthorpe (Straight Talk Consulting) and Sara Branch (Griffith University).
