Established in October 1987 as ‘Westlakes Activity Van’, we have continued to grow and evolve, yet never losing sight of children, young people and families in Lake Macquarie.
After ten years supporting Australia’s social enterprise sector, Social Change Central has closed this chapter.

THE GATEWAY TO THE AUSTRALIAN SOCIAL ENTERPRISE SECTOR
Centralising information, learning resources, and support across Australia’s social enterprise ecosystem.
Amplify your impact with Australia’s all-in-one portal for social enterprises and those who support them.
www.socialchangecentral.com
We hate that good people miss good opportunities and sector updates when using business as a force for good.
And we don’t think social enterprises should need a team of assistants to find funding, opportunities, resources, tools, templates, platforms, and sector developments.
We created SOCIAL CHANGE CENTRAL to do that research for you.
We’ve made the connections, had the meetings, dug up the details, and built an all-in-one portal so you can stay informed and never miss a chance to increase your impact.
But we’re not just here for social enterprises.
With one of the largest audiences in the sector, SOCIAL CHANGE CENTRAL is also a game-changing portal for intermediaries to discover and share opportunities, resources, and support.
Our approach has always been to amplify and aggregate, not duplicate. Our portal is sector-driven, powered by the sector, for the sector, and designed to grow with it.
We make the support that already exists across the sector more accessible, helping every actor in Australia’s social enterprise ecosystem benefit from the opportunities and resources available to grow social enterprise impact.
Thanks for doing good in the world.
We hope this helps you do more.
