Our story
Bringing together sectors and systems to form a powerful network to drive change.
In 2017, the Collaborative Partnership established a national collaboration between the public, private and not-for-profit sectors to give more Australians with a health condition or disability the chance to engage in good work.
Our vision
An Australia where people with a physical or mental health injury, illness or disability have a greater opportunity to work so that people, communities and business can enjoy the health and economic benefits of increased work participation.
Our approach
This is a complex issue that requires cross-sector and system-wide collaboration from a network of leading organisations. We use the collective impact approach to unite our partners and deliver on our vision.
Our governance framework
With more than 300 interested stakeholders and 10 partner organisations along with many project contributors, advisors and experts, we rely on a strong governance framework.
Our partners
The partnership includes leading organisations from the private, not-for-profit and government sectors that work together to find new ways and fresh approaches to improve work participation.
