Leadership Councils
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.

OUR GOALS
This is just the beginning.
We are in the early stages of developing this new way of working so that we can drive meaningful change in the next 10 years.
The Investment Dialogue’s focus on children recognises the importance of collaborating on prevention and early intervention, as we know that investments to support children have the best chance of making long-term intergenerational change.
Further details on our vision, commitments and focus areas can be found in our Working Together Agreement below.

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.
