The Pilot Community
Clarence Valley
The pilot is designed to build capacity and capability in community conversations and Parent Cafe facilitation in order to learn “what matters” for parents and the community. The understanding of the local context will shape the design of the evidence based service model for Clarence Valley.
Thanks to HubHello, Waratah Education Foundation and the in kind support from NSOA, Harwood Institute, Resilience Cafe and Fams, the Thriving Together pilot commenced in June 2021.
The Roadmap
We will bring together the local Directors of the Early Childhood Education and Care sector to share “what matters” and propose opportunities to adapt in response to that feedback.
In parallel, Thriving Together will build local capability in implementation science to promote local leadership in collective redesign and delivery of a service model that “works”.

The Funders
This work is only made possible with grants from HubHello, Waratah Education Foundation and from pro bono contributions from Harwood Institute, Fams, Resilience Cafe and NSOA.
Thriving Together needs to raise funds to deliver the pilot in the Clarence Valley over 3 years. There are opportunities to scale this work into other vulnerable communities, so we will fund raise to deliver this work across Australia.
