Place-Based Partnerships
This stream shift systems at scale - coordinating delivery across a diverse LGA or multi-LGA or regional corridors and hubs with concentrated overseas-born populations and elevated drowning risk.
Community Programs
This stream delivers focused, local change - addressing a specific barrier, cohort or community, building trust, and creating pathways into sustained participation.
Pathfinder - Refugee Settlement
This stream builds water safety into early settlement in high-need metropolitan and/or regional settlement regions. It supports 2-4 local pilots that attach subsidised, culturally safe lessons and hazard awareness to existing settlement pathways, so water safety becomes routine settlement practice.
Pathfinder - Ambassadors
This is a communications, engagement and community influence stream, not an in-water delivery program, that supports trusted community voices to share approved WE SWIM messages.
Pathfinder - Emerging Leaders
This is a leadership-pathway and bridge-building stream that opens senior sector spaces - the events, forums, conferences and networking that shape aquatics, swimming, water safety and lifesaving - to emerging multicultural professionals aged under 30, giving them a meaningful role, a genuine voice and lasting connections into the sector’s leadership.
