Approach
Breaking down barriers in our systems and culture requires broad cross-sector coordination.
The Collaborative Partnership uses the collective impact approach to guide our partnership and deliver on our shared vision.
The Partnership is founded on five key areas of success:
Common agenda
- A shared vision, understanding of the problem and the agreed actions.
Shared measurement system
- Our efforts are measured against the same indicators to keep ourselves accountable to each other.
Mutually reinforcing activities
- Our partners lead activities for which they are best suited or most qualified for, in coordination with others.
Continuous communication
- We have a common language, shared measurement system and regular meetings between senior leaders.
Backbone support organisation
- Comcare is the backbone organisation that manages and supports the collaboration.
A pathway to change: work participation for all
Find out more about the pathway to change (PDF, 109.4 KB) - to create an Australia where people with a mental or physical health condition, illness, injury or disability have a greater opportunity to work so that people, the community, businesses can enjoy the health benefits of good work and economic benefits of increased work.
Our work is further driven by:
- Systems-level solution design addressing inequities leading to poor economic, social and health outcomes.
- Data and evidence-based approaches to action planning, informed by a quantitative understanding of complex social problems and the root causes.
- Participatory practice to design solutions that matter to people by engaging with our stakeholders.
- Recognition that work is an important social determinant of health and there are many Health Benefits of Good Work.
