Leanne's services

---

I collaborate with councils nationwide, leveraging my two decades of experience in local government and homelessness response. I specialise in guiding council management, staff and elected representatives to understand their roles and implement effective actions to prevent and find ways to end homelessness.

Let's connect to explore how I can assist you with training, strategy development, communications planning, community engagement, storytelling, evaluation, improvement, and issues management. 

Help your councillors, key staff and partners better understand why local government should respond to homelessness and what they can do. I deliver tailored training that identifies and highlights roles, responsibilities and opportunities in homelessness prevention and response within a local government context. 

No box ticking exercises here. First off, I can help you fully understand your Council's and community's situation and needs by reviewing current activities and completing a homelessness health assessment for your organisation. I will then help you build a homelessness strategy from ground up - one that engages and involves your key stakeholders and makes homelessness everybody's business. 

More libraries around Australia are engaging social workers to assist patrons with complex needs. Drawn from international best practice, assess your needs and receive expert guidence to establish a program that meets the specific needs of your community. 

Lead the narrative and drive collaboration in your local community. I will help you plan and deliver targeted communications, backed up by local evidence, that allows you to tell the story and bring people along on the journey 

Know your impact, understand what worked and what you can do differently. I will work with you to find the right mix of approaches and tools to evaluate, improve and measure the impact of your work. 

Partnering with issue management consultancy, Parachute Lab, we offer a rapid process that will help you to predict and respond to situations that could significantly affect operations and reputation. Bringing together a team of your own experts, we help you to write a comprehensive plan to manage an issue and prevent it from becoming a crisis.
