About Collaboration for ImpactWe build your capacity to design and deliver systems change so the populations you care about thrive. We specialise in cross-sector collaboration and systemic transformation and our support to you can range from weeks to years, and from local to national.
If you are seeking to create better outcomes for people impacted by system failures, we can support you. We currently work with initiatives wanting to create better outcomes in relation to:
If you are seeking to change the system in your suburb or on a national issue, we can help you. We currently work with initiatives focused on suburb, local government areas, regions, states and nationally.
We will meet you where you are – whether you are just starting out or have been working on systems change for years. We take a phased approach to systems change that we call the Collaborative Change Cycle. The Collaborative Change Cycle supports collaboration to address complex issues by spelling out the work involved in the phases and stages of an effective systems change process.

Platform C provides free access to critical information, tools, case studies and support. We have built a world-class, online learning platform that makes system change accessible, no matter what role you play or where you live.
Rich in content and paired with access to CFIs’ network of specialists, Platform C enables people to design, lead and implement collaborative processes that drive transformational change for people and places.

Deep Collaboration is created by First Nations and other multicultural Australians, sharing their ideas, experiences and expertise to find a new way to work and lead together. The processes and tools here have been developed by CFI from work that brought together First Nations and other multicultural Australians to build collaboration.
The website describes a way of working that follows the values and steps needed to create this shared leadership.
