Her approach initiated the employer-led model back in 2013 and since then has pioneered strategic alliances and opportunities between government, corporate and business sectors, the community and some of our most vulnerable Australians with an ambition to prove doing good is just good for business.

Community Corporate has successfully partnered with companies to activate their inclusion commitments and build initiatives that strengthen their value proposition for new and existing employees and customers alike.  We are proud of our unique set of specialist skills, expertise and passion for being problem-solvers that has informed our customised tools, frameworks and models that has earnt us the reputation as one of the country’s leaders in refugee employment.
