Help Build the Collective

Your voice shapes what comes next.

The Lived Impact Collective is being built by and for people with lived experience. Take our short survey to help shape the tools, resources, and community we're creating together.

About the Collective

Lived experience work needs more than good intentions. It needs people with lived experience who are supported to build their voice, protect their wellbeing, strengthen their practice and grow their influence.

It needs practitioners who understand the ethical weight of working alongside lived experience — and who want to do it better.

And it needs organisations willing to change how they listen, design, govern, partner and share power.

The Lived Impact Collective is being built with three tailored pathways: one for advocates, peer workers and lived experience leaders, one for practitioners working within organisations and systems, and one for organisations, teams and systems leaders.

Each pathway will include its own resources, conversations and practical tools. At times, there will also be opportunities for all three communities to come together.

Because meaningful lived experience practice does not happen through separation alone. It happens when people with lived experience are supported to lead, practitioners are supported to step back, and organisations are supported to become better partners.

How the collective will work

For advocates and peers

A space to strengthen your confidence, boundaries, language, leadership and influence in lived experience work.

For practitioners

A space to deepen your ethical practice, navigate the tensions of working alongside lived experience, and access tools that support you to do it well.

For systems and organisations

A space to access practical tools, frameworks and guidance for embedding lived expertise with care, clarity and accountability.

Shared opportunities

Selected conversations, learning sessions and events where all three communities can come together to build understanding, ask better questions and move beyond transactional engagement.

Shifting lived experience from sentiment to system assets.

Lived Impact acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work, and pays respect to Elders past, present, and emerging. We recognise the strength, resilience, and wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.

Lived Impact is committed to the principles of genuine inclusion, ethical practice, and the belief that those closest to the problem are closest to the solution. Lived experience is not a resource to be extracted - it is leadership to be recognised.

We honour the courage of those who speak, and the quiet strength of those not yet ready. Silence is also a power.
