Culturally Responsive Programs.
Honouring diverse cultures, we partner with communities to design inclusive programs.
A co-designed culturally inclusive physical activity program for Pasifika communities in Sydney's Western Suburbs.
The program has moved from a pilot into a weekly session delivered by community, for the community, led by community.
Collective Leisure is the lead organisation of a consortium that includes Western Sydney Local Health District, University of Technology Sydney, Wesley Mission, and Blacktown City Council, and in collaboration with the Pacific Islands Mt Druitt Action Network (PIMDAN)
This is an ethics approved project. Check out the articles here.

CALD in Communities
Collective Leisure partnered with the City of Parramatta and Transport NSW to deliver CALD Community in Focus, a pilot initiative designed to increase active and public transport engagement among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.
Through in-language workshops co-delivered with local partners, the program supported Chinese, Korean, and Indian residents to build confidence navigating Sydney’s transport system.
Grounded in strategic design and human-centred research, the initiative moved beyond awareness-raising to deliver experiential learning—covering trip planning, navigation, and system use. Evaluation showed 98% of participants improved their transport knowledge and 93% felt more confident using public transport. The program showcases the value of community-led, culturally responsive approaches in driving transport equity and social inclusion.

The annual Bankstown Senior College Well-being Program is now in its sixth year delivered across 3 weeks to Year 10 students.
This program is designed to guide students through an experiential learning of our Wheel of Well-being. This model is a holistic approach to personal well-being, encompassing explorations into Purpose, Emotional, Nourishment, Relationships, Environment, Financial, Spiritual, Physical, Growth, and the Power of Habits. This hands-on, holistic approach equips students with the tools they need to thrive in all aspects of life.
