About the program
Communities for Children is a long-standing, place-based initiative focused on improving outcomes for children aged 0–12 and their families in communities experiencing disadvantage.
In the East Kimberley, 54 reasons delivers Communities for Children as the facilitating partner – working alongside local organisations to strengthen the service system rather than delivering services directly. This includes leading community planning, funding local partners, and supporting coordination across services. The program focuses on early childhood development, family functioning and community capacity, with a strong emphasis on culturally responsive, community-led approaches that reflect local strengths, knowledge and priorities.
