Whilst every project and every community has different needs, we have a proven process for getting tangible and sustainable results. We use an evidence-based approach to identify the unique role that Green Cross Australia can play, and create partnerships rather than just funding.
Research & Data
Gather all the important and relevant information regarding the risk or issue at hand to get a strong understanding of what needs to be done.
Identify Key Players
Identify the key stakeholders in the community. This may be local councils, sector peak bodies, community groups, research institutes or other roleplayers.
Collaborate
Talk directly with the key stakeholders and combine our research with their expertise to get crystal clear on exactly what’s required.
Create a Strategy
With all the information in hand, we create a plan to implement the required changes with key milestones, timelines, costs, risks and all other factors.
Service Methodology
We deliver programs working collaboratively with the key players to execute the strategy, engagement and program governance.
Self Sufficiency
Once we have deemed the project self-sufficient, we leave it in the capable hands of the community to maintain, and complete the project.
