Achieving our Goals
As we completed our Strategic Plan, we achieved the goals we set for ourselves, strengthening our cultural foundations, integrating our systems, and investing in our people, financial sustainability and future growth.
Founded on Worimi Country in 1987 as Great Lakes Community Resources, we began as a community development organisation creating training and employment opportunities for local Aboriginal people experiencing disadvantage. Over the decades, our reach widened, our impact grew and our communities thrived. In 2017, we became Community Resources.
Today, we operate some of Australia’s largest social enterprises and deliver place-based community services. Through our work, we create pathways to meaningful employment, care for Country and strengthen communities.
