Our Approach

our vision

We’re building Lasting Change.

We’re working towards a world where projects and services are designed and delivered differently. We believe that a community’s attributes, assets and unique character should sit front and centre throughout the project lifecycle.

Engagement, research and design are powerful tools in building this better future. However, in our experience, these tools are rarely available to the groups and communities that need them most. We’re committed to changing this.

our Comittment

The Hill We stand on

We’re unapologetically committed to empowering communities and challenging current standards in social research and consultation. 

 

Our work is supported by four key pillars:

CREATING OUTCOMES

Getting to the grit of it
We’re committed to creating measurable and sustainable outcomes for the communities and organisations we work with. We don’t shy away from the hard questions or topics.

enhanching participation

Co-creating change from within
Communities are at their strongest when everybody can participate. At AntHill, we strive to enhance and encourage participation through the ways we work, engage and design. We’re committed to empowering communities by improving access to the type of research that has often only been available to big companies with big interests. Everyone should have their say and play their part.

Autonomy & sustainability

Projects as unique as the communities that guide them
Every community is unique with qualities and assets worth fostering. All of our work is designed from the ‘bottom up’. We never use boilerplates and approach every project and community with a fresh set of eyes. We help our partners to design projects around the unique cultures and characteristics of the communities they are serving.

KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT BOUNDS

Uncovering new ground in best practice
At AntHill, we’re never satisfied with ‘industry best practice’. Knowledge knows no boundaries, and neither do we. We work to overcome disciplinary boundaries by integrating the specialities of our knowledge-area experts. Our expertise spans Australia and the United States, cross-pollinating experiences and approaches from corporate social investment, philanthropy and community development.
