For people leading in Community and Social services.


Designed and delivered by people with deep, first-hand experience of leading in the sector.


Community Groundwork provides reflective supervision, Coaching, Mentoring and practical leadership support for the people holding teams, practice and service quality together.

Who is it for?

Built for people leading in complex care and support environments

Community Groundwork is for frontline practice leaders and emerging practice leaders in community services — the people carrying day‑to‑day responsibility for teams, decisions and the quality of support people receive.

If you and your team are working with vulnerable communities we are here to support you in the amazing work you do.


Practice Leaders help teams turn policy, evidence and values into safe, respectful everyday practice.

They are often team leaders, coordinators, senior practitioners, service leads or program managers. Their role may look different across organisations, but they share responsibility for how people are supported—not just whether tasks are completed.

Practice leaders help teams work through complexity, make sound decisions, learn from challenges and keep care and support connected to the people it is there for.

Community Groundwork supports practice leaders through reflective supervision, coaching, mentoring and practical leadership development.

Our focus is on the people working closest to service delivery: those translating organisational expectations into real work with people, teams and communities.

  • Mental health, alcohol and other drugs, and psychosocial support

  • Housing, homelessness, family and domestic violence services

  • Child, youth and family services

  • Disability, NDIS, aged care and carers’ services

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled services

  • Multicultural, refugee, LGBTQIA+

  • Community development and crisis relief services

If you work in a community, social or any other care and support services, we are here for you.

Frontline and Service Leaders go by many names but you carry the same responsibilities:

You lead people.
You guide practice.
You help turn expectations, policy and values into everyday support.

Community Groundwork is for community services leaders - who are leading where care and support happens.

What drives our work

Safety

Creating spaces and structures that protect people and support safer, higher-quality leadership and care.

Authenticity

Telling the truth and showing up as whole people, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Curiosity

Asking better questions, learning together, and turning everyday work into advanced, skilled practice.

Safety, conduct, and complaints

Community Groundwork is being built for a workforce that often operates under pressure, complexity, and uneven organisational support. Safety is not only about technical security — it is also about respectful conduct, clear boundaries, and what happens when concerns are raised. Our trust model identifies safeguarding, ethics, conduct, complaints, privacy, community conduct, content integrity, and access credentials as visible public commitments supported by real internal processes.

If you raise a concern, the expectation is that it is reviewed through a clear human process rather than disappearing into a black box.

Community Groundwork acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters and communities where we live and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and honour ongoing connection to Country, culture and community.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land



We also recognise the knowledge, wisdom and resilience of people with lived and living experience across the full diversity of human experience, including mental health, trauma, alcohol and other drug experiences, suicide, neurodivergence, LGBTIQA+SB identity, disability, and visible and invisible difference.
