Framing for Change – Learning Hub
Our words, images and stories are powerful tools.
Our narratives and messages have the power to shift public understanding, generate support for better policies, and engage the whole community in our work.
So together with our partners, we’re exploring and sharing the growing evidence about how best to talk about – or ‘frame’ – child development and wellbeing.
There’s a LOT of great research out there. This page aims to collate the most relevant information and make it easy for you to find and use (regardless of where you are on your framing journey).

Join our Framing for Change Community of Practice (CoP)
We meet approximately 6-weekly on Tuesdays between 9:30am and 10:30am AEST (QLD) time.
These meetings are informal, interactive, and aimed at learning together while building our knowledge and confidence in applying best-practice framing principles.
This Framing for Change – Learning Hub has been collated by the Thriving Queensland Kids Framing Initiative as a repository of resources for learning about, sharing and applying evidence-based best practices in effective communication for child and youth development, health, and wellbeing. This is a joint initiative of Thriving Queensland Kids Partnership and the Queensland Family and Child Commission (QFCC).
The TQKP Framing Initiative draws extensively on research published by FrameWorks Institute. FrameWorks Institute has been working in Australia with Australian partners for over a decade and has partnered with TQKP and QFCC as a critical friend to guide and support our work.
