National Leadership Group
The National Leadership Group is a cross-sector advisory body that supports the implementation of the Stronger Places, Stronger People initiative.
The National Leadership Group brings together leaders from communities, business, philanthropy, academia and service delivery, along with Special Advisors from the Commonwealth and State/Territory governments. Tony Berg AM, a Director of Gresham and also a Director of Jawun Indigenous and Corporate Partnerships, chairs the group.
Purpose and Role
The Group’s key purpose is to support the Stronger Places, Stronger People strategy and implementation of place-based collective impact as an approach to building stronger futures for children and their families and disrupting disadvantage.
The Group has four key roles:
- to advise on strategy and implementation of Stronger Places, Stronger People
- to generate national support, new networks and investment in Stronger Places, Stronger People and place-based collective impact
- to reform funding and institutional arrangements
- to engage with Stronger Places, Stronger People communities and champion resolution of systemic barriers.
On 15 February 2022, The National Leadership Group agreed to broaden the scope of their role to oversee the foundational work project for a National Centre for Place-Based Collaboration.
