About Leadership Councils
We are committed to working together and working differently – collaborating within and across sectors, in partnership with communities, and in ways that empower children and families.
As one way to embed community voices in our work, we have established Leadership Councils that include diverse perspectives from communities around the country. We know together, and with diverse perspectives, we can achieve more.

Additional Information
The Leadership Councils are one way of amplifying the voices and perspectives of First Nations peoples and community members, creating a platform for meaningful contributions that ensure The Investment Dialogue considers the nuanced needs of the communities.
We will also collaborate with existing consultation mechanisms, such as other established and relevant councils and advisory bodies, to contribute to further engagement with communities in the work.
Examples
Many local communities are already leading the way with innovative and effective approaches and programs, prioritising better co-ordination and co-operation among service providers, based on the unique needs of those communities, to achieve greater success for children and families.
While the Investment Dialogue is still in its early stages of development, there are already strong community examples of how this collective way of working delivers powerful results for children and families.
Here are a few examples of great work already happening, shining the way for us.
