COMMUNITY WORKS
Partnering for impact
Community Works is a multicultural and collaborative organisation with a presence in Australia, Europe, and Latin America. We support communities and organisations turn evidence-based social development ideas into practical and impactful action.
Our flexible approach means we tailor our support to the unique needs of our partners—whether it is co-designing, implementing projects, measuring impact, or building leadership and capability.

“It has been a pleasure working with Community Works, and their support has been invaluable for our plans to scale one of our projects. Their strong person-centered approach facilitates smoother and more friendly business conversations. The quality of advice we received demonstrates the extensive knowledge of the Community Works team.”

“I have had the pleasure of partnering with Community Works on the delivery of Ninti projects for over 7 years and I have seen first- hand the positive outcomes of these projects for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities. The Community Works team bring a diversity of technical skills (for example, in monitoring, evaluation and learning, capacity building and resource development) and they are equally comfortable engaging with government clients as they are working with remote community members. I have greatly valued and appreciated their responsiveness, flexibility and ‘can do’ attitude.”

Community Works acknowledges the First Nations people upon whose lands we operate. We recognise that this land was never terra nullius. Their land was never ceded, given up, bought or sold. We recognise continuing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to their land, language, waters, sky and culture. We pay our respects to Elders, past present and emerging.
