Stronger Communities - Woodside Development Fund
1:21
A good beginning to life is the foundation for future development, health and wellbeing.

The Woodside Development Fund has committed A$20 million over 10 years in support of programs and organisations working to decrease developmental vulnerability and improve outcomes for children aged birth to eight years. In doing so, we're helping to provide a better start to the lives of children, and nurturing the connections between families and the communities in which they live.

We believe the future of communities is worth investing in.

Developing the potential of children creates benefits for communities today and in the future. By focusing on the early years we believe we can have a positive collective impact on improving health, productivity and participation outcomes in communities. The Woodside Development Fund builds alliances that bring together resources and expertise to drive social change. No single individual, program, organisation, institution, company or government can bring about large-scale social improvement alone – we need to work together.
