Who We Are
Who We Are
We're a growing partnership
We know that many Queenslanders are eager to work collaboratively to build better systems for children and young people.
However, partnerships don’t always just magically happen. We’re here to provide much-needed support with connections, information sharing, expertise, time, and resources.
Together we are greater than the sum of our parts.

“We start from the idea that we do better together – that we can take programs and people that are making in-roads, and connect them, learn from them, boost them. We are not about creating a new organisation or service; it is about using what and who we already have, and what we know and learn.”
