The system efficiently transforms increasingly complex information into a valuable and easy to use knowledge-based resources across multiple devices.

Support Change Makers -
​A Personal Invitation

From the Executive Director

Winning the QLD Telstra Business Awards as a Social Change Maker provided us with an opportunity to reflect where we are, and how we got here.

Recently I have been asked about the journey and its easy to talk about the success we have achieved in developing the Community Information Exchange, however, the journey hasn't been an easy one. When we started with the concept of a 'connected community', we didn't know where we would end up. The idea of a shared database was not new however being able to identify the right services locally community, in the right format while easily accessible, has at times been difficult to achieve.

Some of our biggest failures led us to some of our proudest moments and our most significant successes.

To influence social change, you need to have dedication, determination, perseverance, patience, endurance and sometimes stubbornness. Social change requires dreams to be turned into reality. We are seeing the impact we are having on communities across Australia and as we grow, the impact we make continues to grow.

While we are now connecting more than 250,000 people every month to their community - the journey has just begun.
