We’re a world-class team of creators, strategists, researchers and designers who walk together with communities to build the power of ‘together’.
We relentlessly identify possibilities and opportunities for communities and have played a role in attracting over $100 million investments into community projects, facilities and infrastructure.
Through our design, research and community engagement work in the FIFO space, we’ve positively supported and contributed to the lives of the lion’s share of FIFO workers and their families across Western Australia.
Our work with metropolitan, rural and remote communities in the land development and resource sectors has helped communities achieve aspirations, attract investment partners and flourish together.
Since our inception in 1992 as community engagement consultants in the land development space, we’ve grown to a multi-disciplinary organisation that delivers social outcomes for a diversity of clients and contexts.
We have a three-decade legacy of awards for our work in community development and engagement from bodies as diverse as Planning Institute of Australia and UDIA, to the Prime Minister’s Award for Economic Development.
Our values remind us of our foundations, they unite our efforts and inspire the best in us, individually and collectively.
We bring people and organisations together to build common pathways forward. It’s at the intersection of those interests that we uncover opportunities and possibilities that can change places and communities for the better. We bring our best thinking to the nexus of possibility.
We believe generosity between people is the cornerstone of human flourishing. We seek to create spaces characterised by generosity of spirit, giving space for others to contribute, support and thrive.
We aspire to generate trust, create spaces for the safe exchange of ideas, provide trustworthy advice, and deliver on promises. We are prepared to be honest and speak out for the truth even when it’s uncomfortable and believe this creates pathways to growth, both individually and corporately.
We are driven to empower people to become change agents in their own communities and organisations. In all we do we seek to build capacity and ensure respect for diversity and equity.
We focus on what’s important. We keep the main game, the main game. We lead ourselves and others. We improve. We stay sharp.
We seek to nurture positive relationships and work in a shared direction for the common, social good.
We believe most people deep down want good things for themselves and others. We strive to uncover this heart in our work in order to help build the skills, attributes and attitudes of people to live rich and full lives connected together in community.
We are a collective of creative and strategic thinkers, researchers, and community development professionals who, each in our own way, have come together to be a force for good in the world. We are committed to building social fabric and pursuing equitable outcomes for all.
We wish to acknowledge the custodians of the land on which our office sits, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation and their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and respect their continuing connection to land, sea and culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region. Further, we recognise the continuing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to the lands, waters and communities on which we have built and co-create communities over the past three decades.
