Innovation with impact
"Big challenges require new thinking, innovation and collaboration."
- Matt Little, CEO, CoAct
Sharing innovations and knowledge
Innovation was the spark that created CoAct. If we are to have an impact in solving the problems we face in a rapidly changing environment, innovation again holds the key. Our national reach allows us to share our solutions and knowledge. So, if it works in Perth, it might work in Brisbane – and it’s our job to see if it does!
CoAct works closely with local communities to find new ways to help and discover better ways of delivering and funding existing services. Pilot programs are then carefully planned, connected with CoAct Service Partners, resourced and tracked.
Creating long-term sustainable solutions
The coal face expertise of our network of CoAct Service Partners delivers community impact that far exceeds the value of any contract. The complimentary services delivered in these communities and the embedded local relationships enable communities to buy into and create long-term sustainable solutions.
Steve Lawrence Innovation Award
The Steve Lawrence Innovation Award is named in honour of the founding father of CoAct (formerly known as Job Futures). Steve was passionate about finding new ways to improve the lives of disadvantaged Australians while drawing on their own strengths and the strengths of their communities, enabling them to move down the pathway of work and lifelong learning.
