The challenge
Tackling inequality, nurturing community resilience, and advancing social justice in South West Sydney. Supporting a secure and lively local setting through lifelong learning, empowerment, and evidence-based research. Emphasising collaboration for collective impact, aligning with health strategies, and ensuring community support.
The solution
Challenges and needs were addressed through participation in various activities: engagement in forums, workshops, surveys; recent focus on revitalisation and leading interagency efforts for collective impact.
The impact
CHETRE Community STaR has helped disadvantaged communities build resilience, improve health outcomes, increase participation, strengthen partnerships, and promote social justice. For example, in one community, Community STaR helped to advocate for better health services. As a result of this advocacy, the community now has better access to primary care services and mental health services.
