Stronger Places, Stronger People

Dusseldorp Forum has committed to tackling system reform as part of Stronger Places, Stronger People – a five-year commitment by community, philanthropy, federal and state governments to develop, implement and measure community-led approaches that address the root causes of disadvantage in Australian communities.
