Connecting Community for Kids

Connecting Community for Kids is a collective impact initiative developed to empower parents, children and professionals in the communities of Cockburn and Kwinana to improve childhood outcomes. Working collaboratively with Government agencies, service providers and community groups; we aim to make a lasting difference in the lives of children pre-birth to eight and their families. The ultimate goal of the Initiative is for young children in Kwinana and Cockburn to have the same level of physical, social, emotional, communication and language development as the Perth Metropolitan Area by 2024, based on the outcomes of the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC). We shall achieve this through constant collaboration and community engagement. We will ensure our individual projects will build community capacity; create an inclusive environment; collaborate and engage community to co-design change; advocate for system change; and be sustainable.
