Workers from local government and non-government community organisations in Canterbury-Bankstown attended the 2025 Canterbury-Bankstown CommUNITY Connect which was held over two days, 25-26 February 2025. 

Attendees engaged in professional development, elevating their skills to navigate the complexities of our community. Meaningful connections were forged with like-minded individuals, professionals, and community leaders through a series of workshops and networking opportunities. Guest speakers empowered attendees with skills to navigate through misinformation and provided strategies for understanding, recognising and building resilience to stressful situations and to promote and protect positive mental health for themselves and the community. 
 

The priorities established at each of the workshops will be provided shortly. 
 

The Canterbury-Bankstown CommUNITY Connect for local government and non-government community organisations aims to:

• Increase participants’ knowledge of services and supports across our LGA
• Enable participants to work more holistically with clients and the community
• Provide professional development opportunities
• Increase collaboration across sectors
• Increase referrals across sectors

Watch this space for 2026!
