Overview

In July 2026 SydWest co convened the Think Social Cohesion National Summit with SSI and the Settlement Council of Australia, with SBS as media partner. Just Gold produced the Summit through its Think platform.

Challenge

SydWest’s board had directed the organisation to build influence beyond its footprint. The Summit was the first proof of that direction.

Approach

[Placeholder: method (The Ethos Method or The Praxis Framework) to be confirmed]

The Summit put a regional provider at the table with the sector’s national peak body, its largest settlement provider and the national broadcaster. Just Gold produced the Summit through Think and ran live synthesis, so the room left with its own record of the discussion.

Deliverables

  • Production of the Summit through the Think platform
  • Live synthesis and a record of the Summit for participants
  • The Social Cohesion Roadmap

Outcome

The Summit produced a Social Cohesion Roadmap that is now in sector consultation. SydWest holds a national Roadmap with its name on it, and the Roadmap now underpins the community storytelling program with the City of Parramatta.
