About PLACE
Our vision is for local communities, governments, and others to share decisions on the things that matter most in people’s lives.
Place-based approaches create the opportunity for shared understanding and shared action for lasting change.
What PLACE will do
Enable
Lead the development and implementation of a national workforce strategy for place-based change, supporting the needs of communities.
Learn & share
Bring together, translate, disseminate, and generate evidence, knowledge, and other resources to amplify and accelerate place-based practice and policymaking.
Collaborate
Enable and convene expertise and experience to identify possible solutions to shared challenges and incubate concepts through partnerships and wrap-around support.
Strengthen data
Provide a range of practical supports to place-based approaches to improve data, monitoring and evaluation.
Community-led governance
PLACE’s governance structure has been designed to ensure community leadership and accountability that goes beyond input or participation through advisory groups.
We will establish a Community Council that will shape how PLACE operates, its priorities and recommendations for board appointments. This recognises the importance of collaboration and shared decision-making among diverse stakeholders.
EOI - Community Roadshow & Listening Tour
PLACE board members and staff will be travelling across the country for six weeks to listen, learn and engage with place-based initiatives. We want to hear about your challenges, successes and aspirations - and give you a chance to connect with staff and board members.
Please let us know via the EOI process below if you want to be part of the tour.

The deadline for EOIs is 14 February 2025.
