Queensland Hubs - Learning Exchange - September 2026

The Queensland Hubs - Learning Exchange is all about bringing people together and laying the foundations for a growing community of learning across Queensland.

Join us for the September session:

How we talk about hubs matters

The stories we tell and the language we use can influence community trust, public support and investment in the systems that help children thrive. The way we talk about child and family hubs shapes how people understand their purpose, value and role in supporting children and families.

In this interactive session, you'll be introduced to the science of framing, drawing on Australian research into the mindsets people hold about children, families and support. You'll also hear from people working in and alongside child and family hubs as they share how framing is helping strengthen practice and shift conversations. 

You'll leave with a practical understanding of why framing matters, simple tools and resources you can start using straight away, and the foundations to continue building your framing skills over time. As part of our monthly Learning Series, this is an opportunity to learn alongside others, exchange ideas and strengthen the capability of child and family hubs across Queensland.
