Two universities. Two interlinked approaches. One innovative program.

Pathways in Place – Victoria University

PiP–VU is working with practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and communities in Brimbank, Victoria to build capacity for effective place-based systems change approaches that improve community outcomes. We also advance academic knowledge about place-based systems change approaches and the role of research in community change.

Pathways in Place – Griffith University

In collaboration with researchers and community partners in Logan, Queensland, PiP–GU is working to promote capacity, reform, and community empowerment within the Logan services sector, with a focus on early years development. We're helping to strengthen community-led organisations and support broader reform of systems and service provision.
