Our Strategy

Amplifying Our Purpose, Enhancing Our Reach

Learning Links’ FY25-28 Strategic Plan for Impact outlines four key pillars to amplify the work Learning Links does to support children’s learning, communication and wellbeing and enhancing our reach nationally.

These pillars are supported by a set of core focus areas and strategic foundations that underpin all that we do.

Expanding Our Footprint Nationally

For over 50 years, Learning Links has been making an incredible difference in the lives of children in NSW, but there is still so much need. We aim to expand services to new regional and metropolitan areas by growing and enhancing our online service delivery capabilities and exploring opportunities to utilise a best practice family hub model.

Reaching Children Earlier for Better Outcomes Later

It is crucial to address key developmental vulnerabilities in the early years before school. We will increase the reach and effectiveness of our early childhood programs, explore the development of a family hub model, repilot a new speech screener to identify and support children in need and undertake research to explore gaps in supports.

Engagement and Growth of Partnerships with Schools, Families and Communities

Partnerships offer an invaluable opportunity to upskill professionals and reach families in need. By establishing and nurturing relationships with more schools, early childhood settings, parents and communities in NSW and nationally, we can build the capacity needed to support more children’s learning, communication and wellbeing.

Achieving a Step Change in Fundraising to Grow Our Impact

It’s only through our vital funded programs that Learning Links can continue to support children and families facing disadvantage. By building more values-aligned partnerships and diversifying funding streams, we can drive significant incremental growth in revenue to reach more children who would otherwise miss out.
