For 29 years, CoAct has united a network of not-for-profit community service providers, collaborating to deliver employment and community services across Australia. Today, that network includes 12 service partners, creating impact across over 500 sites nationally.
At CoAct, our purpose is to help people create positive, lasting change in their lives and communities.
We believe everyone has the potential to contribute purposefully. By bringing together the power of our people, partners and communities, we create opportunities and outcomes that no one could achieve alone.
We meet people where they are, helping them grow, build connection and access the support they need to move forward.
Growing the network matters less to us than who’s in it. We look for partners who share our values, not simply ones who add scale or efficiency. That alignment is what makes collaboration and shared best practice actually work across the network, creating value no single organisation could build on its own. Every partner keeps the local knowledge and relationships that make them valuable to their community.
Our why stays the same: helping people create positive, lasting change and activating communities for meaningful outcomes.
CoAct’s not-for-profit partners work hand in hand with us to deliver employment services in local communities across Australia.
“Through a genuine co-design process with CoAct, we’ve developed a collaborative and innovative service delivery model tailored to the real-world needs of young people with disability. We’re proud to bring our expertise and wraparound support to help young people achieve their goals – and to contribute to building a more inclusive workforce across Victoria.”
Our forward focus, shared investment and collaboration help our community partners embed successfully in their local communities, delivering employment and community services.
Together, our network brings the scale, capability and community connections to deliver meaningful outcomes:
Numbers like these are what the network’s scale makes possible and what reform is now asking every provider to show they can deliver.
