Logan Together

What Logan Together does

Logan Together is a community-led, place-based non-profit organization established in 2015 and headquartered at Griffith University's Logan Campus in Meadowbrook, Queensland, Australia. The organization works to improve wellbeing outcomes for children aged 0-8 in the Logan City region, operating on three pillars: First Nations First, Children at the heart, and Community led. It employs a Collective Impact framework to coordinate residents, businesses, community organizations, and government agencies around shared child wellbeing priorities across the ARACY Nest domains (loved and safe, healthy, material basics, learning, participating, culture and identity).

Logan Together's core offerings are community programs and initiatives rather than technology products. Key programs include the Brain Building initiative (neuroscience-based resources for families), the 1000 Voices community consultation program, the Focus Communities strategy (place-based Collective Impact initiatives in Eagleby, Yarrabilba, Logan Village, and Central Logan), and signature events such as Splash! (2022) and Walking Together for Logan's Children (2023). The organization also maintains the Logan Together Roadmap as a community-owned strategic plan and a public Resource Library. Governance is provided through a Leadership Table, a Board, and the First Nations leadership group Gnirigomindala Karulbo, with a 14-person Backbone Team coordinating day-to-day operations.

Logan Together is funded through a combination of philanthropic and government sources, including the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation (three annual grants of ~$162K-$175K across 2018-2020), the Queensland Mental Health Commission, the federal Department of Social Services (under the Stronger Places Stronger People initiative), the City of Logan, and Griffith University. The organization does not sell commercial products or services; participation in its programs is free for community members. Its go-to-market motion is community-led rather than commercial, relying on local governance, partner delivery, and direct community engagement to drive outcomes.
