Community first, always
Working together to elevate the voices of communities to empower change
Collaborative Pathways delivers culturally responsive research, evaluation, and stakeholder engagement services that serve the self-determination and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. Through Indigenous-led methodologies, genuine partnership, and relational accountability, we create knowledge and evidence that empowers communities and drives meaningful social change.
Our Vision and Values
A future where research and evaluation consistently serves the self-determination, wellbeing, and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities—where Indigenous knowledge is valued, where community voices shape the questions we ask and the evidence we create, and where every research project strengthens rather than extracts from First Nations communities.
Cultural Integrity
We centre Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being, and doing in everything we deliver. Cultural protocols aren't an add-on—they guide our practice from start to finish.
Relational Accountability
Strong relationships are the foundation of our work. We invest in building trust, honoring commitments, and maintaining connections that extend beyond individual projects.
Excellence
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of research ethics, methodological rigor, and professional practice. Quality and cultural responsiveness go hand in hand.
Community Empowerment
Our work serves the self-determination and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We measure success by the positive impact we create for communities.
Authentic Partnership
We're not just service providers—we're collaborators invested in your long-term success. We listen first, adapt as needs evolve, and celebrate achievements together.
