Forget rigid “how-to" guides, this toolkit offers a collection of ideas, practices, and reflections to adapt to your business, and to each young person you employ. Developed through Q-SEED Youth co-design with young people, connect with this best-practice process of learning, listening, and evolving.

Townsville Impact Procurement Framework

Facilitated by CQUniversity’s Social Impact Lab, this framework is intended to support collaboration and capability-building in Townsville. It focuses on improving access and participation for local and First Nations businesses, strengthening pathways to meaningful employment, enhancing trust and transparency in procurement practices, and contributing to a more resilient, inclusive, and environmentally responsible local economy.

Come along and connect with local people and organisations passionate about inclusive employment. No matter how you've contributed to Q-SEED, you'll discover an exciting future of social procurement for Townsville and beyond.
