Forward thinking 

Growing social impact.      

Our Insights hub

Behind every social program are people: a child who needs a safe home, a family rebuilding after violence, a young person looking for a new direction, a community shaping its own future. And behind every program that works, there’s a story of what made the difference.

Insights is where we share those stories. We look at the challenges, policies and programs affecting vulnerable people in Australia — what is getting in the way of change, and what is helping it happen. 

No one organisation can solve complex social challenges alone. Real impact grows when NGOs, service providers, government and business learn from each other and build on what works. That’s the collective we want to grow, and this is our contribution to it.

Read, share and join the conversation. If something here sparks an idea, we’d love to hear from you.


Our challenge was to meet an extremely compressed timeframe for operational readiness on a recently awarded new Commonwealth Government contract. Michael's leadership was critical to our success in operationalising the contract across six states/territories for over 150 people with disability, and their families, to maintain supported employment. Michael's leadership and knowledge were exceptional. He was unwavering in his commitment to people with disability while navigating the complexities of a national transition program. He is an outstanding communicator who actively engaged with our leadership, respected our staff, and leveraged our internal capability to great effect. The success of the transition exceeded my expectations.
