IMPACT Events
The IMPACT Network hosts three interconnected peer-led, LLE-focused spaces: IMPACT Network meetings, co-reflection sessions, and Communities of Practice.
Our events are not standalone activities — together, they form a coordinated ecosystem that supports connection, reflection, learning, solidarity, and systems change across the LLE workforce in Queensland.
IMPACT Network Meetings
Monthly meetings (day and evening options) for cross-sector connection, collaboration, and collective learning.
Meetings feature a guest presentation or a themed conversation, along with open space for community sharing. We aim to build a collective voice for reform through dialogue rather than hierarchy, and strengthen inclusion across identified and non-identified LLE roles.
Network meetings explore Pathways, Crossroads & Solidarity throughout 2026. Intersectionality is the lens through which we examine how power, policy, and service design collide in people’s lives, and how those collisions shape who is supported, who is stuck, and who falls through the cracks.
Co-Reflection Sessions
A semi-structured, mutual learning space to consider LLE practice, values, and wellbeing.
Small groups (up to eight) meet for a gentle guided discussion, using the IMPACT Co-Reflection Framework to explore practice alignment with LLE principles, ethical questions, and personal sustainability in the work.
The focus is deep reflection on navigating practice tensions, making sense of identity and role, strengthening boundaries, and building mutual support. The tone is confidential, non-hierarchical and curious, centred on trust, compassion and generative dialogue that honours each person’s expertise.
Communities of Practice
A space for shared exploration of theory, frameworks, and real-world application of LLE practice.
The Communities of Practice strengthen LLE practice and support integrating Lived-Living Expertise into organisational and systemic contexts.
Sessions run monthly and include short presentations, case examples, or themed conversations. The emphasis is on co-learning and translating knowledge across different systems, with space for resource sharing and collaboration.
