In March 2026 the Queensland Places Network held a 2-day workshop, designed, facilitated and hosted by Logan Together to explore the current collaborative commissioning landscape, understand what is working well, where the barriers sit, and identify the opportunities that could be unlocked through a more joined-up effort.
The following resources share the outcomes of that workshop, and invites organisations to reflect on the action that we can all take to shift towards a more collaborative way of funding and commissioning, that better supports communities, families and children.
Collaborative Commissioning Report
Comprehensive overview of the workshop process, key conditions for success, and the prioritised focussed areas for actions.
Behind the Scenes (Collaborative Commissioning report - Appendix A)
Detailed description of the successes, pain points, and matrix of solutions. It provides the connection between the seven key elements, and the success factors and pain point they are trying to impact with the solutions.
Action Plan (Collaborative Commissioning report - Appendix B)
Strategic overview of the two focused areas, the strategic actions, and the emerging implementation steps and responsibilities. It invites us to reflect ‘Where do my strengths, networks or influence best contribute to progressing the actions identified?’.
