Two reports released in November 2017 present findings from aligned research projects conducted by ARACY examining the use of community level data in Australia, specifically in the context of Collective Impact initiatives, and also the functioning of governance and collaboration models in Collective Impact.

The research underpinning these reports combines a rapid literature review with qualitative data to describe the current state of Collective Impact initiatives from each state and territory.

This report helps to identify some key barriers and enablers to collaboration, particularly between consortia and government agencies. The report will also be of value to organisations looking to embed sustainable collaboration in their Collective Impact processes and structures.
