Our Why

Social isolation and loneliness in Australia is an urgent public health issue, given more than one-fifth of Australians rarely or never feel they have someone to talk to or turn to for help; and more than one quarter of Australians feel lonely for at least three days every week according to a 2018 Swinburne University and Australian Psychological Society study. To address this problem requires innovation from individuals and organisations to create new ways of engaging and connecting people into their local community and sharing their gifts and talents with the world.

Peer-to-peer learning is now the best way for social change and creating social and personal resiliance.

Creative organisations and communities are more resilant and open to dierence, self aware and find innovative solutions to social problems.

People need the tools to thrive and through 30 + years of working on social change program and being in community, we have descerned - The best way to create change is to share creative thinking tools.

‘Working Better Together’ is a creative, social and wellbeing consultancy. We work in partnerhip to deliver programs into and within delivery partner organisations. We offer coaching, guidence and creative solutions.
