On the Frontline of Welcome
1 in 4 Australians are born overseas and over 300 languages are spoken at home. Optimising the benefits of migration and cultural diversity requires us to adapt and implement new ways of working that are inclusive and meet the changing needs of customers and communities.
This course builds understanding of migration, cultural diversity and settlement experiences, equipping participants with knowledge of the barriers that newcomers face, the assets they bring and the practical steps organisations can take to improve their engagement, increase access and inclusion and enhance participation.

LGPro WA - Evaluation Framework Training
Local governments make a significant difference to the well-being of their communities through community development work. The outcomes of community development work, however, are often less tanglible than other activities and can be challenging to measure.
This course is delivered in partnership with Local Government Professionals WA and is designed to equip local government officers who are working to achieve community development outcomes with the practical skills to effectively measure the impact of their work.

Collaborate for Impact
Collaboration is at the heart of effective community development — but it doesn’t happen by accident.

Social Impact Coaching
Janali & Co. Founder and Principal, Sarah Janali, facilitates Social Impact Coaching for groups and individuals.
Our coaching model draws on an international evidence base in 'community coaching' as well as Sarah's two decades of experience building community and facilitating social change in the Australian context.
How it works
We work together with clients to identify focus areas for building capacity e.g. evaluation and measurement, engaging with harder-to-reach groups, place based approaches.
We develop a plan for the coaching partnership that steps out how we will work together build capacity.
We develop a schedule of touchpoints for coaching. These are tailored to meet client needs.
In between coaching sessions, we provide support via email. This often involves reviewing documents like grant applications, project plans, and engagement strategies and providing useful feedback.
Email us at info@janaliconsulting.com.au for more information on coaching packages including details on pricing and concessions for non-profit organisations.
Tools and Frameworks

It visualises community development as an approach that focuses on helping communities to achieve their goals.

This editable relationships mapping tool is designed to help you identify the existing relationships you have with the communities you work with, the benefits associated with these relationships and opportunities for growing relationships in place.

'Place knowledge' underpins our ability to navigate communities effectively and collaborate with them in ways that achieve positive change.
This visual resource explores the questions we can explore to build our knowledge of place.

This editable knowledge audit tool was designed to provide a framework for mapping existing knowledge of place-based communities and the things we might need to learn more about in order to navigate them effectively.
