CSIA has a strong focus on Industry development to ensure community services are able to grow and be sustainable.
Drawing on Industry experts, we deliver a range of forums and professional development events aligned with our vision for the future.
We are also delivering key projects with support from Queensland Government partners. These include:
Through this project we have developed an excellence framework and supporting tools to assist Child and Family Support services to strengthen their approach to being Child Safe Organisations.
The framework and tools have been developed and tested in collaboration with Industry partners. These, along with the findings, will be used in an implementation plan with key recommendations for achieving excellence in keeping children safe.
Through a partnership with QFCC, CSIA developed a Business Maturity Scorecard (the Scorecard) for Industry that enables them to self-assess their organisation across a range of business capability indicators.
The Business Maturity Scorecard is a business development tool designed for and by the Community Services Industry. It has been developed and tested, including online applications, with Industry partners.
It is a high quality, easy to use, interactive resource guiding you through questions across eight business areas. Test your organisation's business maturity here.

This phase of the work has been extended to provide support for people with disabilities and their families to participate in thriving communities.
This effort will be further supported by:
