We have been working collaboratively in Mt Druitt since 2015and have recently started exploration of a second place-based initiative in Macquarie Fields.
We take an ecological approach, investing in collaborative work within the broader community ecosystem and recognising the importance of impactful investment and innovations in the early years. We elevate our learnings from this work to share with decision makers to advocate & influence systems for greater equity for our community and others like us.
We believe that if we bring various parts of the system together, listen deeply to community concerns, and work together on community and evidence informed solutions, we can sustainably improve outcomes for children in our community.
The Hive is the backbone organisation for the ‘Together in 2770’ Collective with incredible local partner organisations.
The Hive acknowledges that our staff live across many unceded Aboriginal lands, with The Hive engaged in deep work on Darug Country. We acknowledge the custodians whose knowledge, cultures and customs have nurtured, and continue to nurture land and peoples since the dreaming. We pay our respects to Elders, past and present and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples whom we work alongside. We endeavour to work together as one to strengthen local communities and we respect the cultures and traditions of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. We commit to the journey of reconciliation, admitting we may not always get it right, but approach the process with open and humble hearts, and the intention to do better.
