About Our Youth Team
While The Collective Initiative is a growing organisation, our leadership team brings proven experience delivering youth and family support programs across child protection, out-of-home care and disability sectors.

The Collective Initiative acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather, work and live. We pay our respects to elders, past, present and emerging. May we all work towards reconciliation and always recognise their continual connection to land, water and community.
