Our words, images and stories are powerful tools to build positive change for all Queensland children.

By using framing evidence, we can shift public understanding, generate helpful narratives and support for better policies, and engage the whole community in our work.

Together with our partners we’re exploring, sharing, and putting into practice the growing evidence about how best to talk about – or frame – child development and wellbeing.

The Thriving Kids Strategic Framing Initiative aims to connect people and organisations, collate the most relevant information, and support each other to communicate effectively to drive change.

Under the Framing Initiative we run a Framing for Change Community of Practice, approximately 6-weekly on Tuesdays between 9:30am and 10:30am AEST (QLD) time. These meetings are informal, interactive, and aimed at learning together while building our knowledge and confidence in applying best-practice framing principles.

Upcoming dates for 2026: 

– Tuesday 13 October

– Tuesday 24 November
